Benefits of Mepitel Ag
• Reduces pain and trauma at dressings changes.
• Prevents damage to newly formed delicate tissue upon removal
• Stays securely in place without slippage
• Can be left in place, while a secondary layer is changed as frequently as necessary.
• Inactivates a broad range of wound-related pathogens for up to 8 days
• Antimicrobial effect – even with a secondary layer4
Wear time
Mepitel Ag may be left in place for up to 8 days depending on the patient, condition of the wound and surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice (exudates should pass freely through the dressing and the holes should not be blocked). If saturated, the secondary absorbent dressing could be changed with the Mepitel Ag left in place.
Indications for use
Mepitel Ag is intended for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as skin tears, skin abrasions, sutured/ surgical wounds, partial thickness burns, partial and full thickness grafts, lacerations, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, and arterial ulcers. Silver sulphate is added to the dressing as a preservative to inhibit or reduce microbial growth on the dressing.
