Mepitel silicone mesh bandage 20x30cm sterile, 5 pcs

Product features

Mepitel is a gentle, double-sided wound spacing grid with Safetac, the original contact layer with silicone adhesion.This technology minimizes pain when changing dressings because the mesh rests gently on the skin and does not stick to the moist wound.This makes the dressing easy to remove without damaging the skin or wound, making dressing changes less painful for patients.Safetac also protects the new tissue and the intact skin and supports the natural healing process.The wound edges are sealed to protect the skin from maceration.The perforated design allows wound exudate to drain into a secondary absorbent dressing.The dressing can be left on the wound and topical treatments can be applied.The wound dressing can remain on the wound for up to 14 days without disturbing the healing process.

No prescription is required for this product.

Mepitel leaves no residue and maintains its functional properties permanently.
