Mepitac 2 x 300 cm (2cm x 3 m) Roll Non-Sterile Silicone Wound Dressing by Mölnlycke

Product Overview

The Mepitac 2 x 300 cm roll is a non-sterile silicone dressing from Mölnlycke Health Care, a trusted brand in wound care. Made from soft silicone, this dressing provides gentle adhesion that minimizes pain and trauma during removal. Its unique Safetac technology seals the wound edges, preventing leakage and maceration, while allowing the dressing to be repositioned without losing adhesion. This roll format is perfect for cutting custom lengths for various applications, from scar management to securing tubes and catheters.

Key Features and Benefits

• Safetac Technology: The silicone adhesive seals around the wound, preventing exudate leakage and reducing the risk of infection. It also makes removal painless, as it doesn't stick to the wound bed.
• Gentle Adhesion: Ideal for fragile, sensitive, or aged skin. The dressing adheres securely but removes without damaging the skin or causing pain.
• Flexible and Conformable: The thin silicone material conforms easily to body contours, providing a comfortable fit even on joints or curved areas.
• Non-Sterile: Suitable for chronic wounds, scars, and secondary fixation. Not intended for direct contact with open wounds unless covered by a primary dressing.
• Cost-Effective Roll: The 3-meter length allows you to cut exactly what you need, reducing waste and providing multiple applications from one roll.

How to Use

Clean and dry the skin around the wound or area. Cut the Mepitac dressing to the desired length, leaving at least 2 cm extra around the wound. Apply the dressing without stretching, smoothing it from the center outward. For scar management, apply the dressing directly over the scar and leave in place for up to 7 days, replacing as needed. When removing, lift one corner and gently stretch the dressing parallel to the skin surface to release the adhesive.

Who It Is For

Mepitac is suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, children, and the elderly. It is commonly used for scar management (hypertrophic scars, keloids), securing medical devices (catheters, tubing, sensors), and as a secondary dressing for chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers or pressure sores. It is also ideal for use in dermatology and plastic surgery post-operative care.
