Mepitel One Safetac Wound Dressing - 9cm x 10cm - 5 Pcs

Safetac technology is a unique soft silicone layer that adheres gently to the skin and wound edges. It minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes and helps maintain a moist wound environment.

Yes, Mepitel One can be used on infected wounds. However, the infection should be treated according to standard clinical practice, and Mepitel One should be used in conjunction with an appropriate antimicrobial dressing or secondary dressing if required.

Mepitel One can remain in place for up to 7 days, or until the secondary dressing needs to be changed, depending on the level of exudate and the condition of the wound and surrounding skin.

Mepitel One is not waterproof; it is a breathable film. It allows vapor to pass through but is not designed to be submerged in water or provide a waterproof barrier on its own. The secondary dressing will determine the overall water resistance.

Yes, Mepitel One can be cut to size using sterile scissors if necessary to fit a specific wound shape. Ensure the cutting is performed under aseptic conditions.

Mepitel One is a wound contact layer and does not have significant absorbent properties. It transfers exudate to the secondary dressing, which is responsible for absorption.

Always apply Mepitel One with the shiny side facing upwards, towards the secondary dressing. The duller, silicone-coated side is the one that contacts the wound.

Ensure the shiny side of Mepitel One is facing the wound. If adherence is due to heavy exudate, ensure the secondary dressing is adequately absorbent and changed promptly.

Ensure the wound and surrounding skin are dry before application. Use a sufficiently large secondary dressing to secure the edges of Mepitel One.

While Safetac is designed for gentleness, discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure proper skin preparation and avoid tension during application.
