Mepitel One Dressings
Mepitel® One is a thin transparent one-sided Wound Contact Layer Dressing and should be used with an outer absorbant dressing.The open perforated structure of Mepitel® One allows exudate to pass vertically into a secondary absorbent dressing.Safetec® adhesive prevents the outer absorbant dressing from sticking to the wound or the skin surrounding the wound minimising trauma at dressing changes. Mepitel One can be left in place for up to 14 days and the wound can be inspected at any time thanks to its transparency.
Indications
Mepitel One Dressing 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 Dressings can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and on areas with fragile skin.
