Mepitel Wound Contact Dressing 12x15cm (291000) - Pack of 5

Mepitel Dressing 12cm x 15cm (291000) – Pack of 5 is a large, soft, transparent wound contact layer designed to provide gentle, atraumatic protection for fragile skin and complex wounds. Using advanced Safetac® silicone technology, it adheres gently to dry surrounding skin while not sticking to the moist wound bed, helping reduce pain and trauma during dressing changes.

This larger format is ideal for covering more extensive wound areas while supporting a moist wound healing environment and allowing exudate to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing.
