Mepitel is a soft silicone wound contact layer designed to protect fragile wounds and promote healing with minimal pain on removal.

Key Benefits:

• Stays in place, but won’t adhere to the wound bed
• Minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes
• Transparent for easy wound inspection and can be cleaned by wiping over ‘in situ’
• Can remain in place for up to 14 days allowing outer secondary dressing changes as required
• Allows wound fluid to pass through into a secondary dressing like Mesorb or Mextra

Clinically Designed for the management of wounds with moderate to high levels of wound fluid including:

• Skin tears
• Skin abrasions
• Sutured wounds
• Partial-thickness burns
• Partial- and full-thickness grafts
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Leg ulcers

Mepitel is applied directly to the wound with a secondary absorbent dressing applied on top and secured with a tubular bandage (ie: Tubifast or equivalent).

Mepitel can be used by lay persons under supervision of Healthcare Professionals. If you are concerned about your wound, please contact your Healthcare Professional.

Precautions:

• If you see signs of infection e.g. fever or the wound or surrounding skin becoming red, warm or swollen, consult a health care professional for appropriate treatment.
• When used on partial thickness burns with high risk of rapid granulation or after facial resurfacing: avoid placing pressure upon the dressing, lift and reposition the dressing at least every second day.
• When used on bleeding wounds or wounds with high viscosity exudate, Mepitel should be covered with a moist absorbent dressing pad.
• When Mepitel is used for the fixation of skin grafts and protection of blisters, the dressing should not be changed before the fifth day post application.
• Do not use Mepitel on patient and/or user with known hypersensitivity to the ingoing materials/components of the product.
• Do not reuse. If reused performance of the product may deteriorate, cross contamination may occur.
• Do not use if inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilise.
