Mepitel One 17cm x 25cm

Wound CareMepitel® One is a gentle one-sided wound contact layer with Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. We designed it to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients. Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster natural healing . And it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration . Mepitel One has a perforated design that lets exudate pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing. It enables easy delivery of topical treatments. And it allows secondary dressing changes without disturbing healing. 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 True undisturbed healing – it can remain in place for up to 14 days Safetac technology – minimising the risk of skin damage and pain to the patient Is cost-effective Suitable for a wide variety of indications A recent multi-centre randomised controlled trial (RCT) shows that with Mepitel One, significantly fewer patients experienced painful dressing changes* compared to UrgoTul**. It was also observed that with Mepitel One, more patients had healed by day 21*** than those treated with UrgoTul**.

It can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and on areas with fragile skin. The open structure of Mepitel One allows, where clinically indicated, topical ointments to pass through onto the wound. It can be applied together with Mesorb®; or for high-exuding wounds with Mextra® Superabsorbent; with Tubifast® fixation; and also under compression bandages. Mepitel One can also be used in conjunction with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). 5 per package
