Mepitel Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing

Double-Sided Soft Silicone | Non-Adherent Wound Protection | Single or Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

Mölnlycke Mepitel Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing is a sterile, double-sided soft silicone dressing designed to protect fragile wounds while minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

Its non-adherent silicone layer stays in place without sticking to the wound bed. The open structure allows wound fluid to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing.

Mepitel is suitable for wounds with moderate to high exudate and can also protect fragile skin or wounds with little fluid when paired with an appropriate secondary dressing.

The transparent design allows wound inspection and may remain in place for up to 14 days, depending on clinical guidance.

🔷 Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Wear: May remain in place for up to 14 days.

🔷 How Mepitel Works

Mepitel forms a protective contact layer between the wound and a secondary absorbent dressing.

Its soft silicone surface helps minimize wound disturbance when the outer dressing is changed.

Wound fluid passes through the contact layer into an absorbent dressing, such as Mesorb or Mextra.

Mepitel is not absorbent on its own and requires a suitable secondary dressing.
