Mepitel® Film provides a flexible, transparent covering to protect the skin or wound from microbial contamination, fluid strike-through and from other external contamination while conforming to surface irregularities and body contours. Mepitel® Film maintains a moist environment even though the vapour permeability allows excess wound moisture to pass away from the skin. The Safetac® layer provides instant adhesion that does not require extra pressure to fixate well in place. The Safetac® layer also ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepitel® Film leaves no residue and the adhesion level does not increase over wear time.

Details:

• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Limits the risk of damaging newly formed tissue
• Transparent for easy inspection
• Conforms well to body contours, promoting patient comfort during wear
• Bacteria and viral barrier where microbes larger than 25nm
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
• Leaves no residue
• Fluid impermeable
• Showerproof

Indications:

Mepitel® Film is designed for the management for a wide range of superficial wounds such as pressure injuries stage/grade I and II, superficial burns, superficial skin injuries and it may help to prevent skin breakdown. Mepitel Film protects fragile and sensitive skin.
