Mepitel® One is a one sided version of Mepitel that utilizes the product benefits from Mepitel, but is easier to handle. It features a one sided soft silicone wound contact layer and can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound. This reduces the necessity for frequent primary dressing changes. The porous structure of Mepitel One allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing and the Safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound, ensuring atraumatic dressing changes. The Safetac layer seals around the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.

• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Can remain in place for up to 14 days which in turn ensures undisturbed wound healing
• Enables less frequent dressing changes
• Minimises the risk of maceration
• Maintains product properties over time - leaves no residues and does not dry out
• Full transparency for quick and easy wound inspection during application and during wear
• Thin and conforms well to body contours, promoting patient comfort during wear
• Easy to use as it doesn’t stick to gloves, scissors, second layer etc
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
• Improved adhesion, increased position retention – stays in place

Areas of use:
Mepitel One is designed 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, leg and foot ulcers. It can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and on areas with fragile skin.

Note: If Mepitel One is used on Epidermolysis Bullosa patients, employ extra surveillance at dressing changes. Adhesion level of Mepitel One is somewhat higher than of Mepitel.
