Vlepitel? One: a wound contact layer with Safetac? technology

摘要

This article examines the use of Mepitel? One, a wound contact layer that promotes wound healing by using the clinical benefits of Safetac? technology. A wide range of clinical evidence shows that dressings with Safetac prevent trauma, minimise wound pain and associated psychological stress, while facilitating undisturbed wound healing. Mepitel One has been developed as a highly transparent wound contact layer with Safetac on the wound contact surface alone; this makes it easy to apply without sticking to gloves, and allows it to be used with a choice of secondary dressings. The dressing can stay in place for up to 14 days and allows examination of the wound without removal. The clinical evidence reviewed here shows that Mepitel One is a versatile option for use on a wide range of wound types to promote undisturbed healing and minimise pain at dressing changes.
