Mepitel Wound Contact Layer Dressing 5cm x 7cm | 5 Pcs

Description

Mepitel Wound Contact Layer 5 × 7 cm – 5 Pack – Low-Adherent Silicone Dressing

Mepitel is a gentle Wound Contact Layer with an open mesh design enabling good transfer of exudate to a secondary dressing. The porous structure of Mepitel allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing. Mepitel prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and therefore minimises trauma and pain associated with dressing changes. This results in less discomfort for the patient and which in turn ensures undisturbed wound healing. Mepitel can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound. Safetac technology protects the wound and the skin preventing the outer dressing from sticking to the wound.

Benefits
