Mepitel Wound Dressing, 2 x 3 inch

Molnlycke Mepitel Wound Dressing, 2 x 3 Inch

Mepitel is a soft, transparent silicone wound-contact layer from Molnlycke designed to protect fragile skin and delicate wounds. Featuring the gentle Safetac adhesive technology, it's ideal for patients with sensitive or compromised skin, including those managing skin tears, lacerations, partial- and full-thickness wounds, blisters, abrasions, and post-surgical sites. Its standout benefit is atraumatic dressing changes—the Safetac layer stays gentle on the wound while allowing you to change outer dressings without disturbing healing tissue.

Mepitel works as a primary contact layer placed directly over the wound bed. Its porous structure allows exudate to pass through into an outer absorbent dressing, helping manage drainage while keeping the wound-contact layer in place. Because Mepitel can be left in position for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound, it reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes—minimizing disruption, discomfort, and the risk of trauma to new tissue. It also conforms well to body contours, promoting comfort throughout wear.

This listing is for the 2 x 3 inch (5 x 7.5 cm) size and is available in multiple purchase options—choose a Single, a Box of 10, or a Case of 50 to match your needs. Mepitel is a great choice for at-home and clinical wound care and is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below to add it to your cart.
