Mepitel Silicone Dressing, 3 x 4 inch

Molnlycke Mepitel Silicone Dressing, 3 x 4 inch

The Molnlycke Mepitel Silicone Dressing is a gentle, transparent wound contact layer designed for people managing delicate or painful wounds. Built with Safetac soft silicone technology, this atraumatic dressing protects fragile tissue while allowing you to change outer dressings without disturbing the healing wound bed. It's an excellent choice for anyone caring for skin tears, grafts, burns, or wounds that need a protective, low-trauma contact layer.

Mepitel works by forming a double-sided Safetac contact layer that will not stick to moist tissue such as the wound bed, yet adheres gently to the surrounding intact skin. This unique design seals the wound margins to help reduce leakage and maceration while letting exudate pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing. Because it doesn't cling to the wound, dressing changes are more comfortable and less likely to damage newly formed tissue, which can support the healing process and minimize pain.

This dressing may be used on skin tears, fixation of grafts, traumatic wounds, partial-thickness burns, painful skin conditions with blisters, and wounds in the granulation phase. Each dressing measures 3 x 4 inches (7.5 x 10 cm) and is available in multiple purchase options, so you can choose a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 40 to match your needs. This product is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below.
