Mepitel® is a soft silicone wound contact layer designed to protect fragile wounds and promote healing with minimal pain on removal.
Key Benefits
- Stays in place, but won't adhere to the wound bed
- Minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes
- Transparent for easy wound inspection and can be cleaned by wiping over in situ
- Can remain in place for up to 14 days, allowing outer secondary dressing changes as required
- Allows wound fluid to pass through into a secondary dressing like Mesorb or Mextra
Clinical Use
Clinically designed for the management of wounds with moderate to high levels of wound fluid, including:
- Skin tears
- Skin abrasions
- Sutured wounds
- Partial-thickness burns
- Partial- and full-thickness grafts
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Leg ulcers
Mepitel is applied directly to the wound with a secondary absorbent dressing applied on top and secured with a tubular bandage, such as Tubifast or equivalent.
Always read the label and instructions for use. If symptoms persist, contact your healthcare professional.
