A transparent soft silicone wound contact layer that can stay in place for up to 14 days — protecting the wound bed while outer dressings are changed above it.
Mepitel is a porous, flexible polyamide net coated with Molnlycke's Safetac soft silicone. Clinicians use it as a primary contact layer under an absorbent secondary dressing; the 8" x 12" size suits larger wounds.
Key Benefits
- Undisturbed healing: May remain in place for up to 14 days, reducing primary dressing changes.
- Less pain and trauma: Safetac prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound for atraumatic changes.
- Protects surrounding skin: Seals around wound edges to keep exudate off surrounding skin, minimizing maceration risk.
- See the wound: Transparent for easy inspection during application and wear.
