When to use Mepitel

Mepitel with Safetac protects the wound and the skin. It’s designed and clinically proven for use in treating a wide range of wounds such as skin tears, skin abrasions, sutured wounds, partial thickness burns, lacerations, partial and full thickness grafts, diabetic ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers. Mepitel can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, blisters, fragile skin and exposed fragile tissues.

The open structure of Mepitel allows, where clinically indicated, topical ointments to pass through onto the wound.

You can use Mepitel together with Mesorb®; or for high-exuding wounds, with Mextra® Superabsorbent; with Tubifast® fixation; and also under compression bandages. Mepitel can also be used in conjunction with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT).
