Suitable for a wide range of wounds, Mepitel Ag is ideal for patients who require advanced wound care with minimal discomfort.
The Mölnlycke 390790 Mepitel Ag Wound Contact Layer is a highly effective wound care solution designed to protect and treat a variety of wounds. This 3x4 inch contact layer is infused with silver (Ag) and features Safetac® technology, providing a unique combination of antimicrobial action, gentle adherence, and optimal healing conditions.
1. Antimicrobial Action with Silver Infusion: Mepitel Ag is infused with silver, which is well-known for its antimicrobial properties. The silver ions within the dressing help reduce the risk of infection by inhibiting the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative strains. This antimicrobial action is crucial for preventing complications and promoting faster healing in both acute and chronic wounds.
2. Safetac Technology for Gentle Adherence: Safetac® technology is a proprietary feature of Mölnlycke dressings, designed to minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes. The soft silicone layer adheres gently to the surrounding skin without sticking to the wound bed, ensuring that the dressing can be removed or repositioned without causing damage or discomfort. This gentle adherence reduces the risk of maceration and promotes a more comfortable healing process for patients.
3. Protection and Moisture Balance: Mepitel Ag acts as a protective barrier over the wound, shielding it from external contaminants while maintaining a moist environment that is conducive to healing. The contact layer helps regulate the wound’s moisture level, preventing it from becoming too dry or too wet. This balance is critical in promoting optimal wound healing and reducing the risk of complications such as infection or delayed healing.
4. Versatile Application: The 3x4 inch size of Mepitel Ag makes it suitable for a wide range of wound types, including surgical wounds, abrasions, burns, and diabetic ulcers. Its flexibility and adaptability allow it to conform to different wound shapes and sizes, ensuring comprehensive coverage and protection. Mepitel Ag can be used as a primary dressing directly on the wound or as a secondary layer in combination with other absorbent dressings.
5. Extended Wear Time: Thanks to its durable design and Safetac technology, Mepitel Ag can remain in place for up to 14 days, depending on the wound condition and level of exudate. This extended wear time reduces the frequency of dressing changes, minimizing disruption to the healing process and reducing the overall cost of care. It also provides a more convenient solution for both patients and caregivers.
6. Reduced Pain and Trauma: One of the most significant benefits of Mepitel Ag is its ability to reduce pain and trauma during dressing changes. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing does not adhere to the wound bed, allowing for atraumatic removal. This feature is especially important for patients with sensitive skin or those with chronic wounds that require frequent dressing changes.
The Mölnlycke 390790 Mepitel Ag Wound Contact Layer with Safetac Technology is a superior wound care product designed to enhance healing while minimizing discomfort. Its antimicrobial silver infusion, gentle adherence, and ability to maintain an optimal moisture balance make it an ideal choice for treating a variety of wounds. By providing extended protection and reducing pain during dressing changes, Mepitel Ag supports better patient outcomes and a more comfortable healing experience. Whether used in hospitals, clinics, or at home, this advanced wound contact layer is a trusted solution for effective wound management.
