How Mepitel Safetac Transparent Dressing Works?

The porous structure of Mepitel allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing. Mepitel prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound, ensures undisturbed wound healing and minimizes trauma and pain associated with dressing changes. As a result, patients experience less discomfort

   I call it "teflon for wounds"

   Few of the medical professionals I have dealt with on my skin tears know what this is but I haven't seen anything that works as well as this.

   Non-stick Healing

   I have very sensitive skin that is readily torn after contact with conventional adhesives. The Safetac system allows me to layer a non-stick pad on top of the Safetac, and to change the non-stick pad as needed without disrupting the wound or skin around it. Recommended.

   Question: Can i shower with the dressing on?

   Asked by Amber R. on Oct 27, 2016 Report
   • A
     Answer: Mepitel can be left in place for up to 14 days in order to not stress the wound or newly healed tissue, but it is suggested to cover with wound shield. We have shower shields to cover your wound.
