Description
Mepitel® Film is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin, helping to minimize the risk of skin breakdown. This gentle, breathable film can be used alone or in combination with other products.
The thin, conformable design of Mepitel Film adapts well to irregular surfaces and various body contours. It provides a flexible, transparent barrier that protects the skin or wound from microbial contamination, fluid strike-through, and other external contaminants.
Thanks to Safetac®, the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion, Mepitel Film adheres without extra fixation, making it easy to remove without damaging the skin. This means less pain for your patients.
Mepitel Film can also serve as a landing zone for more aggressive tapes, allowing secure attachment of devices without causing damage or pain during removal.
Additionally, Mepitel Film has been shown to significantly reduce radiotherapy-induced skin damage. A recent randomized controlled trial revealed that it reduced the severity of skin reactions by over 90% after breast cancer radiotherapy.
Key Benefits:
-
Protects fragile and sensitive skin.
