Molnlycke Mepitel Non-adherent Silicone Dressing can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound which reduces the necessity for frequent primary dressing changes. The porous structure of Mepitel allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing. The Safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and ensures atraumatic dressing changes. The Safetac layer seals around the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimises the risk of maceration.

Mepitel is an a traumatic contact layer featuring Safetac soft silicone technology that will not stick to moist tissue such as a wound bed, but adheres gently to intact skin. Ideal for skin tears, fixation of grafts, traumatic wounds, partial-thickness burns, painful skin conditions with blisters, and wounds in granulation phase.
