Mepitel® Ag is a gentle wound contact layer – for when you need an antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in the wound. It's designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as skin tears, skin abrasions, sutured/surgical wounds, partial thickness burns, partial and full thickness grafts, lacerations, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers and arterial ulcers.
Mepitel Ag has been shown to inactivate wound relevant pathogens – bacteria and fungi – within four hours and for up to 8 days, as shown in vitro and acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.
