Description

Mepitel and Mepitel One are innovative wound contact layer dressings developed by Molnlycke, designed to provide gentle and effective wound care. These dressings feature the advanced Safetac® soft silicone adhesion technology, which ensures minimal pain and trauma during dressing changes. By adhering softly to the skin without sticking to moist wounds, Mepitel dressings can be removed easily, protecting both the wound and the surrounding skin.

Key Benefits

• Pain Reduction: The unique Safetac® technology minimizes pain during removal, making it ideal for patients with sensitive or fragile skin.
• Wound Protection: By sealing the wound margins, it prevents leaks and maceration, promoting a cleaner healing environment.
• Transparency: The thin, transparent design allows healthcare professionals to inspect the wound without removing the dressing, ensuring continuous monitoring.

Design Features

Mepitel dressings are available in two forms:

• Mepitel: Features a two-sided Safetac technology for enhanced fixation.
• Mepitel One: Offers a one-sided Safetac technology for simpler application.

Both variants are perforated with an open mesh design, allowing exudate to pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing. This design also facilitates the application of topical treatments directly through the dressing.

Application Versatility

These dressings are highly conformable, molding softly to the skin for comfort and effective coverage. They leave no residue and can remain in place for up to 14 days, supporting undisturbed healing. Mepitel is suitable for a wide range of wound types, including:

• Skin tears
• Abrasions
• Surgical incisions
• Diabetic ulcers
• Partial thickness burns

Usage Instructions

Mepitel can be used in conjunction with various secondary dressings and is compatible with compression bandages and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). For optimal results, application and changes should be guided by a healthcare professional.

Available Sizes

Mepitel and Mepitel One are offered in multiple sizes to accommodate different wound dimensions, ensuring a tailored fit for each patient’s needs. The materials used include an open mesh polyurethane net and a Safetac® soft silicone layer, providing a reliable and gentle dressing solution.

Precautions

Regular wound inspection is advised to monitor for signs of infection. The dressing should be used as a single-use product to maintain sterility and effectiveness. Mepitel is a trusted choice for healthcare providers seeking advanced wound care solutions that prioritize patient comfort and healing efficacy.
