Mepitel Wound Contact Dressing 8x10cm - Pack of 5

Mepitel Dressing 8cm x 10cm (290700) – Pack of 5 is a soft, transparent wound contact layer designed to protect delicate skin and support effective, atraumatic wound healing. Featuring advanced Safetac® silicone technology, it gently adheres to surrounding dry skin while not sticking to the moist wound bed, helping minimise pain and trauma during dressing changes.
