Mepitel Film
Transparent film dressing designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin while minimising skin breakdown risk.
Mepitel® Film is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin and minimise risk of skin breakdown 1 2. You can use this gentle breathable film as an only dressing or in combination with other products.
Our thin Mepitel Film design is very conformable and adapts well to surface irregularities and different body contours. It provides a flexible transparent covering, to protect your patient's skin or wound from microbial contamination, fluid strikethrough, or other external contamination.
The instant tack avoids the need for extra fixation – thanks to Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. With Safetac, you can remove it easily without damaging the skin 1 2. That means less pain for your patients 2.
Mepitel Film can be used as a landing zone for aggressive tapes, allowing devices to be secured to the patients’ skin, without causing damage or pain at removal 3.
You can also use Mepitel Film to significantly reduce the radiotherapy-induced skin damage after radio-therapy treatment of breast cancer. In a recent randomised controlled trial, the severity of the skin reaction was reduced by more than 90% 1.

The Mepitel Film Dressing is a gentle, transparent, and breathable film dressing designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin while allowing continuous wound observation. Made with Safetac® soft silicone technology, it adheres smoothly to the skin without sticking to the wound, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
This waterproof, bacteria-proof film provides a secure barrier against external contaminants while maintaining a moist wound-healing environment. Its transparency makes it easy to monitor healing without frequent dressing removal, reducing unnecessary disturbance to the wound site.
Ideal for use on superficial wounds, skin tears, IV sites, and as a secondary fixation layer, the Mepitel Film Dressingis comfortable, flexible, and suitable for both clinical and home care settings.
