Mepitel® Ag is an antimicrobial soft wound contact layer with Safetac technology. It adheres gently, which minimises trauma to the wound bed and the surrounding skin as well as pain to the patient during dressing removal.1
Mepitel Ag delivers antimicrobial activity within 4 hours and up to 8 days (in vitro).1 The open structure of the dressing allows a good fluid drainage, such as wound exudate, into the secondary absorbent dressing.1 Mepitel Ag can be left in place during outer dressing change and may extend wear time while increasing patient comfort (compared to traditional dressings).1,2
- Supports undisturbed wound healing1
- Allows exudate to pass vertically into a secondary dressing1
- Inactivates a wide range of wound relevant pathogens (in vitro)1
- Demonstrated ease of application and removal1
- Conforms well to graft sites and difficult-to-dress areas1,3
