Mepitel

The Mepitel® Silicone Wound Contact Layer is composed of a silicone-coated polyamide mesh, protected on both sides by polyethylene films which must be removed prior to use. The dressing is made from medical-grade polyethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, and polyamide 6. Safetac® technology Safetac® is a soft silicone adhesive technology designed to minimize pain to patient and trauma to wounds and the surrounding skin at dressing removal. The microporous, open mesh structure of the Mepitel® Silicone Wound Contact Layer allows vertical flow of exudate into the secondary absorbent dressing, preventing exudation from the side. This dressing also reduces the need for frequent changes of the primary dressing.
