Molnlycke Mepitel Wound Contact Dressing – Gentle Protection for Fragile Skin
The Molnlycke Mepitel Wound Contact Dressing is a sterile, transparent wound contact layer designed to protect delicate tissue while minimising pain and trauma during dressing changes. Featuring Safetac® soft silicone technology, it adheres gently to intact skin but not to moist wounds, allowing exudate to pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing. This makes it ideal for carers, nurses, aged care providers, NDIS participants, and individuals managing complex or fragile wounds.
Mepitel is widely used for burns, skin tears, grafts, and chronic wounds, offering long wear time and reliable performance in both clinical and home care settings.
Why Choose Molnlycke Mepitel?
Mepitel provides gentle yet secure wound contact, reducing trauma and pain during dressing changes. Its transparent design allows easy inspection of the wound without removal, while the two‑sided silicone layer ensures consistent adherence and exudate transfer. With extended wear time, it reduces the need for frequent changes, supporting patient comfort and healing.

- Two‑sided adhesion: Stays securely in place while allowing exudate transfer.
- Transparent design: Enables wound monitoring without removing the dressing.
