About this deal

The perforated design lets exudate pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing minimising the risk of maceration. The open structure of Mepitel One allows, where clinically indicated, topical ointments to pass through onto the wound. Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin, so wounds remain undisturbed, to support faster healing. Mepitel seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration. The wound should be inspected for signs of infection according to clinical practice. Consult a health care professional for the appropriate medical treatment.

Wound dressing is an excellent strategy for wound care and therapy, as evidenced by the favorable findings of various trials. However, further research and development are needed to validate modern dressing methods. Currently available dressing methods are critical to establishing a moist environment for wound healing, pain relief, and antibacterial protection. Unfortunately, only a few clinical trials have been conducted to assess the efficacy of these popular modern dressings. Trials on wound dressing effectiveness are typically performed on less complicated wounds, resulting in oversimplification of the actual clinical aspects.
