Mepitel One Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 2 x 3 Inch

Molnlycke Mepitel One Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 2 x 3 Inch

Mepitel One is a transparent, one-sided wound contact layer designed to protect delicate wounds and the surrounding skin while healing takes place. It's ideal for a wide range of low-to-highly exuding wounds, including skin tears, surgical wounds, abrasions, blisters, and partial- and full-thickness wounds. At the heart of this dressing is Safetac soft silicone technology, which gently adheres to intact skin but not to the moist wound bed, so you get secure placement without pain on removal.

The dressing's open mesh structure allows wound exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing, keeping the wound bed at an optimal moisture level and helping prevent maceration. Because Mepitel One is transparent, you can observe the wound and monitor healing without lifting the contact layer. When it's time to change the secondary dressing, you can do so without disturbing the wound bed or newly formed tissue—reducing pain, minimizing trauma, and supporting faster, undisturbed healing. The open mesh also allows topical treatments to be delivered directly through the dressing.

This listing measures 2 x 3 inches (5 x 7.5 cm) and is available in multiple purchase options: a Single, a Box of 10, or a Case of 70—choose the quantity that fits your needs from the selector below. Thanks to the gentle Safetac layer, Mepitel One can remain in place for up to 14 days depending on the wound and clinician guidance, while secondary dressings are changed as needed. This dressing is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your option below to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long can Mepitel One stay on the wound?
A: The contact layer can remain in place for up to 14 days, depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin. This allows for undisturbed healing while you change only the secondary absorbent dressing as needed.

Q: Will removing the dressing hurt or damage new tissue?
A: No. The Safetac soft silicone layer adheres gently to intact skin but not to the moist wound, so it can be removed without causing pain or disturbing newly formed tissue.

Q: Do I need a secondary dressing with Mepitel One?
A: Yes. Mepitel One is a wound contact layer, so it should be used with a secondary absorbent dressing. The open mesh lets exudate pass through into that outer dressing, which can be changed without disturbing the wound bed.

Q: Can I see the wound without removing the dressing?
A: Yes. Mepitel One is transparent, allowing you to observe the wound and monitor healing without lifting or removing the contact layer.
