Mepitel Ag Wound Contact Layer Sterile Dressings with Safetac Technology are atraumatic to remove. These dressings limit damage to the wound and surrounding skin, hence reducing patient suffering. The risk of maceration is reduced by sealing the wound borders, which prevent exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin.

Features:

• Latex free.
• Based on an innovative blend of Safetac and an antibacterial ingredient to improve dressing performance.
• During dressing changes, there is minimal skin and wound damage, and the patient has little pain.
• Stays firmly in place without slipping.
• Can stay in place while the secondary layer is replaced more frequently.
• Inactivates a broad range of wound-related pathogens for up to 8 days.
• Maintains antimicrobial effect even with a secondary layer.
• Impregnated Ingredients: Silver Sulfate.
• Material: Polyamide Net / Silicone.

Benefits:

• The open structure allows exudate to move freely to a secondary layer.
• Safetac technology promotes less painful recovery.
• Soft and conformable.
• The dressing combines silver sulfate with Safetac's mild foundation while maintaining its atraumatic and antibacterial qualities.

Indications: Intended for a wide range of exuding wounds such as skin tears and abrasions, sutured/surgical wounds, partial thickness burns, partial and full thickness grafts, lacerations, diabetic ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers.

Directions to use:

1. Cleanse the wound according to standard procedures and dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Choose a size of dressing that covers the wound and surrounding skin by at least 2 cm, cut to fit if needed.
2. While holding the larger protective film, remove the smaller one. Moisten gloves to avoid adherence to dressing.
3. Apply dressing over the wound.
4. Remove the remaining protective film and smooth out dressing. If more than one piece is required, overlap them without blocking the open structure.
5. Apply an appropriate secondary layer over the dressing. In contoured areas, ensure sufficient padding to keep the dressing flat against the wound.
6. Keep the dressings in place using suitable fixation.
