When to use Mepitel Film
Mepitel Film is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin and minimise risk of skin breakdown. It can be used as a secondary dressing, fixating e.g. gauze or non-woven swabs, or as a landing zone for aggressive tapes to secure devices to skin. It can be used as a secondary protective dressing over IV sites when the IV device is secured through adhesive tape or sutures.
How to use Mepitel Film
Dry the skin/surrounding skin thoroughly. Remove the protection foil (printed Safetac®) to expose the adhesive.
Position the dressing. Mepitel Film can be repositioned as long as the paper frame is intact. Remove the white paper frame. Do not stretch the dressing when applying. For best result, Mepitel Film shall overlap the dry surrounding skin by at least 1-2cm for the sizes up to 10x12cm, and 5cm for the larger sizes, in order to fixate securely.
Firmly smooth-out the dressing onto the skin. Mepitel Film can be removed without causing skin stripping and pain.
