Mepitel® wound contact layers
Mepitel® is a gentle, yet effective Wound Contact Layer with the unique Safetac® technology. The open mesh design enables good transfer of exudate to a secondary dressing and easy delivery of topical treatments.
MEPITEL DRESSINGS
Mepitel One
One-sided wound contact layer that allows observation without removing the dressing
Mepitel® One is a gentle one-sided wound contact layer with Safetac® – the contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change.¹ Mepitel One does not adhere to the moist wound so it can be easily removed without damaging the skin, potentially reducing pain for your patients.²
Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin, so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster healing.³ ⁴ Mepitel One seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration.⁵ ⁶
Mepitel One has an open mesh structure that allows exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing and enables the delivery of topical treatments. Mepitel One allows secondary dressings to be changed without disturbing the wound bed.
Mepitel One is adhesive on one side, so it’s easier for you to handle. Plus it’s transparent, so you can instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer.
• Transparent so you can instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer
• Undisturbed healing – it can remain in place for up to 14 days
• Safetac technology – Minimizes the risk of skin damage and pain to the patient
• Suitable for a wide variety of indications

Mepitel
Gentle two-sided wound contact layer – minimize pain for your patients ¹
Mepitel® is a gentle two-sided wound contact layer with Safetac® – the contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change.² Mepitel does not adhere to the moist wound so it can be easily removed without damaging the skin, potentially reducing pain for your patients.³
Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin, so wounds remain undisturbed, to support faster healing.¹ ⁴Mepitel seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration.⁵ ⁶
Mepitel has an open mesh structure that allows exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing and enables the delivery of topical treatments. Mepitel allows secondary dressings to be changed without disturbing the wound bed. The dressing reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allows secondary dressing changes without disturbing healing.
• Undisturbed healing – Mepitel can remain in place for up to 14 days
• Mepitel is clinically proven to enable faster healing with less pain and cost, compared to silver sulfadiazine ¹
• Doesn’t leave residue and maintains functional qualities over time
• Mepitel’s transparency allows you to assess healling progress without removing the dressing
Mepitel Ag
Antimicrobial wound contact layer for exuding burns and wounds
Mepitel® Ag is a gentle wound contact layer – for when you need an antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in the wound. It’s designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as skin tears, skin abrasions, sutured/surgical wounds, partial thickness burns, partial and full thickness grafts, lacerations, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers and arterial ulcers.
Mepitel Ag has been shown to inactivate wound relevant pathogens – bacteria and fungi – within four hours and for up to 8 days, as shown in vitro.¹ An international consensus states that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds.² And acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection ²
Mepitel Ag adheres gently with Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So your patients experience less pain during dressing changes.³⁻⁶
• Antimicrobial wound contact layer for a wide range of exuding burns and wounds
• Less painful dressing changes ³⁻⁶
• Rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity ¹
