🔷 Product Overview
The Mepitel® Film Soft Silicone Dressing 6 x 7 cm is a sterile, transparent silicone film dressing designed to protect fragile, sensitive, and at-risk skin while helping minimize the risk of skin damage. Featuring proprietary Safetac® Technology, the gentle silicone adhesive adheres to the surrounding skin rather than the wound surface, supporting atraumatic removal with minimal pain and tissue disruption.
Its thin, breathable, and highly conformable design makes it comfortable to wear on curved, mobile, or difficult-to-dress body areas. The transparent film allows ongoing visual inspection of the skin without removing the dressing, helping reduce unnecessary dressing changes.
Mepitel® Film may be used alone to protect superficial wounds and fragile skin, or as a protective interface beneath medical devices, tapes, and secondary dressings. It is also commonly used to help reduce skin reactions associated with radiotherapy.
