Mepitel ® is a gentle two-sided wound contact layer with Safetac ® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. When Mepitel is used on burns treated with meshed grafts or after facial resurfacing imprints can occur if the product is not used properly. Mepitel ® One has one side of silicone adhesion to minimise pain and discomfort at dressing removal and reduces skin damage for patients (Patton et al, 2013; David et al, 2018). Mepitel One is a wound contact layer designed for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as painful wounds, skin tears, skin abrasions, surgical incisions, partial thickness burns, traumatic wounds, blistering, lacerations, partial and full thickness grafts, radiated skin, leg and foot ulcers. Mepitel One with Safetac technology is a one-sided wound contact layer that effectively protects the wound and the skin and prevents an outer dressing from sticking to the wound, minimising trauma and pain.You can use Mepitel together with Mesorb ® ; or for high-exuding wounds, with Mextra ® Superabsorbent; with Tubifast ® fixation; and also under compression bandages.
