mepitel one is a gentle one-sided wound contact layer with safetac the contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change; it does not adhere to moist wounds so it can be easily removed without damaging the skin, potentially reducing pain. safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin, so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster healing. mepitel one seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration. this dressing also has an open mesh structure that allows exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing and enables the delivery of topical treatments, while allowing secondary dressings to be changed without disturbing the wound bed. adhesive on one side allows for easier handing, and it is transparent so you can instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer. this dressing can remain in place for up to 14 days.
