Mepitel One Wound Contact Layer 9cm x 10cm | Box of 5

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, CONTACT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

Mepitel One places a transparent, one-sided soft silicone contact layer between the wound and its secondary dressing. A separate absorbent secondary dressing is required to receive fluid passing through the contact layer.

Box contents and construction

• Five Mepitel One contact layers per box.
• Each dressing measures 9cm x 10cm.
• One-sided Safetac soft silicone surface.

This is Mepitel One, not the separate Mepitel product range. The contact layer is not an all-in-one absorbent dressing.

Use with the selected secondary dressing

Use under the supervision of a healthcare professional, who can select the dressing combination and change schedule for the wound. Follow the current instructions supplied with the product. Seek medical advice for signs of infection, including fever or the wound or surrounding skin becoming red, warm or swollen.

Important precautions

• Always consult a health care professional before using Mepitel One on Epidermolysis Bullosa patients.
• When using Mepitel One on partial thickness burns with high risk of rapid granulation or after facial resurfacing, avoid placing pressure on the dressing. Lift and reposition the dressing at least every second day.
• When using Mepitel One for the fixation of skin grafts and protection of blisters, the dressing should not be changed before the fifth day post application.
• Do not use Mepitel One on patients with known sensitivity to silicone or polyurethane.
• Do not reuse. If reused performance of the product may deteriorate, cross contamination may occur.
• Sterile. Do not use if inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilise.
