Mepitel is a gentle, two-sided wound contact layer featuring Safetac technology, the original less-pain silicone adhesion layer. It is designed to conform softly to the skin without sticking to the moist wound, allowing for easy removal that minimises pain and skin damage. Its transparent design permits wound inspection without removal, supporting undisturbed healing for a wide range of wounds.
