Mepitel One Dressings

Transparent Mepitel One is an exciting new development in the quest to minimise interruptions to healing. An innovative one-sided Safetac wound contact layer, Mepitel One lets you give the healing process the time it needs as it can be left in place for up to 14 days “avoiding the need for dressing removal can help minimise patient pain and unnecessary disturbance to the healing process. Mepitel One offers high transparency allowing you to instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer.

Impressively conformable, ensures an excellent fit and maximum patient
comfort whilst its effective open mesh design enables free transfer of exudate to the secondary dressing and delivery of topical treatments to the wound bed

Mepitel One is convenient to work with even while wearing gloves. It adheres quickly, gently and securely “ saving time and minimizing patient discomfort

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.
