mepitel is a gentle two-sided wound contact layer with safetac the contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change. mepitel does not adhere to the moist wound so it can be easily removed without damaging the skin, potentially reducing pain for patients, while sealing the wound margins to protect the skin from damaging leaks and maceration. mepitel has an open mesh structure that allows exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing and enables the delivery of topical treatments. mepitel allows secondary dressings to be changed without disturbing the wound bed and reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allows secondary dressing changes without disturbing healing-this wound contact later can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound.
