Mepitel Ag Antimicrobial soft silicone wound contact layer

Mepitel® Ag is an antimicrobial soft wound contact layer featuring Safetac® technology. It gently adheres to the skin, minimizing trauma to the wound bed and surrounding skin, as well as reducing pain during dressing removal.

Mepitel Ag provides antimicrobial activity within 4 hours and continues for up to 8 days (in vitro). The dressing's open structure allows effective fluid drainage, such as wound exudate, into the secondary absorbent dressing. It can be left in place during outer dressing changes, potentially extending wear time and enhancing patient comfort compared to traditional dressings.

Key Benefits:

• Supports undisturbed wound healing.

• Allows exudate to pass vertically into a secondary dressing.

• Inactivates a wide range of wound-relevant pathogens (in vitro).

• Demonstrates ease of application and removal.

• Conforms well to graft sites and other difficult-to-dress areas.
