Mepitel One Silicone Interface Dressing

What is Mepitel One Silicone Interface Dressing used for?

Mepitel One Silicone Interface Dressing acts as a high-tech protective shield for delicate wounds and fragile skin areas. This flexible dressing features a perforated silicone interface that ensures atraumatic contact with the skin. Its unique design protects tissue while facilitating the passage of exudates to an absorbent secondary dressing. Thanks to this dual action - protection and drainage - it helps accelerate healing, while reducing pain on removal.

Its patented Safetac™ technology forms a gentle micro-adhesion to the skin that pulls neither the wound nor surrounding tissue. This intelligent adhesion avoids pain when changing dressings, making it ideal for sensitive skin, the elderly, children or patients with specific skin pathologies. Patients benefit from stress-free, effective care, even with frequent dressing changes.

This transparent dressing makes it easy to visually monitor wound progress, without having to remove it systematically. At a glance, caregivers and patients can check that the treated area is clean, well-groomed and in good condition. This limits unnecessary handling, protects the injured area and reinforces continuity of care. This transparency is a real asset both in the hospital and at home.

The suppleness of the silicone backing ensures optimum adaptation to anatomical contours: knees, elbows, hands, face or flexion folds. Mepitel One moulds perfectly to the curves of the body, without creating tension, folds or detachments. This guarantees prolonged comfort and continuous protection, even in areas most exposed to movement or friction.

This dressing can be used in a wide range of clinical situations: venous ulcers, superficial burns, skin grafts, phlyctenes, tumor lesions or dermabrasions. It is also very useful for preventing bedsores or protecting skin at risk of tearing. Its gentle, protective, non-adherent action makes it a must-have in any advanced care kit, for professionals and private individuals alike.

In short, Mepitel One Silicone Interface Dressing is an innovative solution that is protective, transparent, repositionable, breathable, soft, flexible, adhesive and perfectly tolerated. It optimizes the management of complex wounds, facilitates the daily work of caregivers and improves patient comfort, while reducing complications associated with pain or skin breakdown.
