• Full transparency for quick and easy wound inspection during application and during wear
• Can remain in place for up to 14 days, which enables less frequent dressing changes
• Maintains product properties over time, leaves no residues and does not dry out
• Conforms well to body contours, promoting patient comfort during wear
• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Easy to use
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
• Minimizes the risk of maceration
Mepitel® One is indicated for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as painful wounds, skin tears, skin abrasions, surgical incisions, partial-thickness burns, traumatic wounds, blistering, lacerations, partial- and full-thickness grafts, radiated skin and leg and foot ulcers. Can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and on areas with fragile skin.
When used on burns treated with meshed grafts or after facial resurfacing, imprints can occur if the product is not used properly.
Sterility is guaranteed unless inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilize.
The wound should be inspected for signs of infection according to clinical practice. Consult a health care professional for the appropriate medical treatment.
If used on epidermolysis bullosa patients, employ extra surveillance at dressing changes. Adhesion level of Mepitel® One is somewhat higher than of Mepitel®.
When used on burns treated with meshed grafts, avoid placing unnecessary pressure upon the dressing.
When used after facial resurfacing, avoid placing pressure upon the dressing. Lift and reposition the dressing at least every second day.
When used on bleeding wounds or wounds with high viscosity exudate, Mepitel® One should be covered with a moist absorbent dressing pad.
When used for the fixation of skin grafts, the dressing should not be changed before the fifth day post application.
