Mepitel One - 3" x 4" (7.5 x 10 cm), Sell Packaging 10

Excellent product that serves its purpose extremely well as an anti-friction layer. For example, a wound on my palm no longer has to be in direct contact with gauze and the constant micro-movements that come from normal hand use. Instead, I place gauze on top of the Mepitel One and then wrap my hand with a self-adhering elastic bandage (modern Ace-style wrap). This setup has been a big improvement in comfort and protection. I did read reviews on other sizes claiming the product was shower-proof, but after receiving it, I realized that isn’t really accurate. The mesh has fairly large pores. I had expected the holes to function more like a one-way system—allowing wound fluids to escape while resisting incoming water—but they are simply open holes. Shower water, along with dirt or oils running down surrounding skin, will pass straight through and reach the wound. Because of this, you’ll want to cover it with a second waterproof layer if showering. Longer-term, once a wound stops oozing, it makes sense to transition to a hydrocolloid (colloidal) bandage. That type of dressing is waterproof, more occlusive, and helps maintain proper moisture levels, which supports healing and prevents scabbing.

Thjis product is easy to use and effective.

I am a nurse and use this a lot for skin tears. I actually bought this for my dad for a first aid kit because he has such thin skin since he has gotten older and has gets skin tears very easily. You can use it on the skin and leave while it heals and don't have to replace but about every 5 days and it won't tear the skin when taking off. It can be expensive but I bought when on sale.

Helps with something that is not going to heal or needs to be washed but exposes wound. Open mesh semi falls apart. Easy to peel and remove. Holds up usually 2 weeks. Sometimes longer.

This is 100% better than regular band aid-type products. This goes on, stays on, in baths or rain, eventually falls off when wound is healed. This is what doctors use!!

These are the best things. I first got them when I was in the hospital, but my arms, tear really really easily and I can put this on it and instead of snagging and hurting and whatever within a week. It looks so much better it can breathe. You can take a bath with it. It’s great if you

Mepitel One is one sided (sticky on one side and not on the other) If you want 2 sided, order the mepitel. I have very sensitive skin and most bandages I can wear only 1 day. I can use Mepitel-One for several days and replace it several times without getting a rash or skin breaking down. I get insect bites and am a scratcher. I will cut a piece of Mepitel-One to cover the bite or wound and place it in place. Not only does it promote healing, but it also reminds me to to scratch. This has been the BEST product I have found. I was introduced to it at the wound clinic. My husband has been treated often for the last 10 years. It really enhanced his healing also. It may be a little costly, but it is worth every cent. I did order the 2 sided product once by mistake and inorder to not waste my money used plastic wrap on one side so it didn't sick to clothes. I have also used it on my face and since it is clear, it didn't stand out that much. Hope this helps.

This works really well at protecting wounds and is easy to work with. You use scissors to cut a piece the size you want. I have been using Mepitel for years. I have thin skin that is easily torn. I cover the skin tears with a small piece of Mepitel and then place a bandage over it. When you change the bandage, do not remove the Mepitel or the unhealed wound will start bleeding again. If you want to reapply antiseptic, just pour the liquid right over the Mepitel and the liquid will enter through the many holes.
