Description

Mepitel® Wound Contact Layer provides gentle, silicone-based protection for wounds, supporting undisturbed healing and reducing pain during dressing changes.

Mepitel® is a two-sided wound contact layer with Safetac® technology, designed to mould softly to the skin without adhering to the moist wound bed. This gentle silicone adhesion allows for easy removal without damaging the skin, reducing pain and protecting new tissue. It seals wound margins to prevent leaks and maceration, while the perforated design lets exudate pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing.

By maintaining dressing integrity, Mepitel® reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allows secondary dressings to be changed without disturbing healing tissue. The contact layer can remain in place for up to 14 days, delivering topical treatments safely and supporting faster natural healing. Its transparency enables caregivers to assess wound progress without removal, helping optimise clinical monitoring.

Clinically proven to accelerate healing of scalds with less pain and lower cost compared to silver sulfadiazine, Mepitel® does not leave residues and maintains its functional qualities over time. Suitable for patients with fragile or sensitive skin, it ensures consistent, reliable performance while reducing caregiver workload. Purchasing Mepitel® from Independence Australia provides access to trusted wound care while supporting Australians living with disabilities.
