Dressing - Mepitel

DIMENSIONS: 8x10x5cm

Mepitel is a porous, semi-transparent, low-adherent wound contact layer.

The silicone coating is slightly tacky, which facilitates the application and retention of the dressing to the peri-wound area. This gentle adhesion also tends to prevent maceration by inhibiting the lateral movement of exudates from the wound on to the surrounding skin.

The nature of the bond that forms between Mepitel and the skin surface is such that the dressing can be removed with minimum pain and without damaging delicate new tissue.

Mepitel is not absorbent, but contains apertures or pores approximately 1mm in diameter that allows the passage of exudates into a secondary absorbent dressing.
