Mepitel One Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer 289170 6cm x 7cm Single

Description:

Mepitel One is a one-sided, soft silicone wound contact layer. Mepitel One is gentle, durable, and safe to use - optimising the healing process.

Mepitel One is a wound contact layer designed for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as skin tears, skin abrasions, surgical incisions, partial thickness burns, traumatic wounds, partial and full thickness grafts, radiated skin, leg and foot ulcers. It can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, blisters and on areas with fragile skin.

Mepitel One reduces pain and skin damage for the patients.

• one sided Safeta® interface minimise patient discomfort at dressing removal
• Safetac technology seals the wound margins and reduces risk of maceration
• Safetac technology promotes nonadherence to the moist wound bed but to dry skin only

Mepitel One supports optimal undisturbed healing.

• advanced dressing maintaining product properties over time - leaves no residues and does not dry out
• Safetac adhesive technology secures optimal fixation - can remain in place for up to 14 days

Mepitel One supports healing progress and care provider.

• transparent net enables optimal wound assessment avoiding unnecessary dressing changes
• pre-printed symbol facilitates safe removal on skin tears with fully or partially intact flap
• perforated structure allows it to be used in combination with gels

Mepitel One can be left in place for up to 14 days, depending on the condition of the wound, which reduces the necessity for frequent primary dressing changes. The open, perforated structure of Mepitel One allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing. 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.

Usage Directions:

Follow instructions on pack or as directed by your healthcare professional.

1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical practice and dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.

2. Choose a size of Mepitel One that covers the wound and the surrounding skin by at least 2 cm. If needed, the dressing can be cut. For larger wounds, more overlap is required.

3. Remove the protective plastic layers and apply Mepitel One with the sticky side to the wound. The dressing is applied in a correct way when you can read the text printed on the dressing. Smooth the dressing in place onto the surrounding skin to get a good seal. If more than one piece of Mepitel One is used, overlap the dressings. Make sure that the holes are not blocked.

4. Apply an outer absorbent dressing, on top of Mepitel One and fixate.
