Molnlycke Mepitel Film

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

Mepitel® Film is designed for a wide range of superficial wounds such as pressure ulcers category and 2, superficial skin injuries and superficial burns. Mepitel® Film protects fragile and sensitive skin. Mepitel® Film can also be used as a protective cover for open surgical wounds and in combination with gels and ointments. Mepitel® Film can also be used as a protective Landing Zone for fixation tapes and devices. Mepitel® Film may be used prophylactically to help prevent radiation-induced skin reactions.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Gently clean the wound area; dry surrounding skin. Remove the protection foil (printed Safetac®) to expose the adhesive.

2. Position the dressing. Mepitel® Film can be repositioned as long as the paper frame is intact.

3. Firmly smooth the dressing onto the skin. Mepitel® Film can be removed without causing skin stripping and pain.
