Mepitel ((Mölnlycke Health Care ) is constructed of a porous, transparent and flexible polyamide open-mesh net coated in Safetac soft-silicone, enabling pain-free removal. It has been used successfully as an atraumatic wound dressing on a wide range of wounds.18 The product is non-absorbent, the mesh structure allowing exudate to pass vertically into a secondary absorbent dressing, which is changed as required to prevent maceration. The integrity of the dressing reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes. Mepitel One is a more recent variant of this product, which incorporates all the benefits of Mepitel, with the added benefit of only having Safetac technology on the wound contact side, allowing easy handling and application. Mepitel One leaves no residue and prevents the wound from drying out. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with topical antimicrobials.
