Mepitel One Dressings

Indications

Mepitel One Dressing is a wound contact layer 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. Mepitel One Dressings can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and on areas with fragile skin.

Precautions

• If the product is not used properly on burns treated with meshed grafts or after facial resurfacing imprints can occur.
• The wound should be inspected for signs of infection according to clinical practice. Consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate medical treatment.
• 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.
• Mepitel One used on burns treated with meshed grafts: avoid placing unnecessary pressure upon the dressing.
• Mepitel One used after facial resurfacing: avoid placing pressure upon the dressing lift and reposition the dressing at least every second day.
• When used on bleeding wounds or wounds with high viscosity exudate, Mepitel One should be covered with a moist absorbent dressing pad.
• When Mepitel One is used for the fixation of skin grafts, the dressing should not be changed before the fifth day post application.
• Sterility is guaranteed unless inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilise.
