Mepitel ME290500 Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer with Safetac Technology, 5 cm Width, 7 cm Length (Pack of 5)

Product Information

Gentle 2-sided wound contact layer with Safetac®, designed to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound . David F, Wurtz JL, Breton N, et al (2018) A randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial comparing the performance of a soft silicone-coated wound contact layer (Mepitel One) with a lipidocolloid wound contact layer (UrgoTul) in the treatment of acute wounds.

It can be used as a protective dressing over IV sites when the IV device is secured through adhesive tape or sutures. Since the launch of Mepitel ® in 1989, there has been a considerable amount of clinical evidence to support its use, beginning with the first randomised study comparing the efficiency of Mepitel ® with silver sulfadiazine in children with partial thickness scalds (Gotschall et al, 1998). Transparent Mepitel One is an exciting new development in the quest to minimise interruptions to healing. Collin (2009) describes the use of Mepitel ® One following hand surgery in a non-comparative, ten patient case series.Through the unique Safetac adhesive Mepitel Film minimises pain and trauma before, at and after dressing changes. 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 can be left in place for up to 14 days and the wound can be inspected at any time thanks to Mepitels transparency.

The Safetac layer seals around the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimises the risk of maceration. Mepitel is a gentle Wound Contact Layer with an open mesh design enabling good transfer of exudate to a secondary dressing. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. Some clinicians found the outside silicone layer stuck to their gloves, although some liked this feature as it helped keep the secondary dressing in place.This gentle adhesion also tends to prevent maceration by inhibiting the lateral movement of exudate from the wound on to the surrounding skin. This results in less discomfort for the patient and which in turn ensures undisturbed wound healing. The transparent net enables visualisation of the wound bad and periwound skin area enabling wound assessment avoiding unnecessary dressing changes (David et al, 2018).

Use together with Mesorb or for high exuding wounds with Mextra Superabsorbent, and with Tubifast fixation.

Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster natural healing . The clinical evidence reviewed here shows that Mepitel One is a versatile option for use on a wide range of wound types to promote undisturbed healing and minimise pain at dressing changes. Our expert Clinical Support team are looking forward to talking to you about Mepitel One, as well as assist with any other support you may need. Wounds in children treated with Mepitel ® healed significantly faster and demonstrated less eschar formation (e.

Fixation tapes and devices can be fixated on top of the Mepitel Film product, the Mepitel Film is than used as a protective Landing Zone for the fixation tape. x 5cm burn dressing is saturated with a sterile, water-based gel which is non-toxic, non-irritant and does not contain any fats or greases. All wounds responded well and were associated with, at worst, minimal bleeding or exudation (as would be expected of this type of wound).Here, we present Mepitel ® One, a gentle one-sided wound contact layer with Safetac ® technology to minimise pain for patients during dressing changes. At this time, significantly more patients treated with Mepitel One had healed compared to those treated with a lipido-colloid adhesive layer. The dressing integrity reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allows secondary dressing changes without disturbing healing. Safetac ® technology does not adhere to the wound bed, but forms a seal around the wound margin, therefore reducing the risk of maceration (Patton et al, 2013; David et al, 2018). The silicone coating is slightly tacky, which facilitates the application and retention of the dressing to the peri-wound area.
