Mepitel^® Ag is an antimicrobial soft wound contact layer with Safetac^® technology. It adheres gently minimising trauma to the wound bed and the surrounding skin as well as pain to the patient during dressing removal  .

Mepitel Ag releases silver ions creating an effective antimicrobial barrier up to eight days (in vitro)  . The open structure of the dressing allows a good fluid drainage, such as wound exudate, into the secondary absorbent dressing    . Mepitel Ag can be left in place during outer dressing change and may extend wear time while increasing patient comfort (compared to traditional dressings)    .

• Supports undisturbed wound healing  
• Allows exudate to pass vertically into a secondary dressing  
• Inactivates a wide range of wound relevant pathogens (in vitro)  
• Demonstrated ease of application and removal  
• Conforms well to graft sites and difficult-to-dress areas
