Mepitel 1 Non-adherent 1-sided Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer 4 X 7

What is SC289500-Each Mepitel 1 Non-adherent 1-sided Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer 4 X 7?

The SC289500-Each Mepitel 1 is a sterile, single-sided soft silicone wound contact layer designed to protect fragile tissue during healing. Measuring 4 x 7 inches, it features a perforated polyurethane film with an open mesh structure that allows exudate passage while maintaining a moist wound environment. The non-adherent silicone side interfaces directly with the wound bed, minimizing pain and tissue damage upon removal—critical for delicate or newly healed skin.
