How to use

Product description
Mepiform is a thin, discreet and flexible dressing consisting of a laminate (polyurethane and nonwoven) covered with a soft silicone gel.

Safetac® technology
Safetac® is a patented soft silicone adhesive technology. Dressings with Safetac technology   are atraumatic upon removal. These dressings minimize trauma to the wound and the surrounding skin, which minimizes pain to the patient. The risk of maceration is minimized by sealing the wound margins.

Intended use
Mepiform is designed for the management of hypertrophic and keloid scars. It can also be used as a prophylactic therapy on closed wounds for prevention of hypertrophic or keloid scarring.

Application

1. Open the packaging and remove the dressing.
2. If necessary, cut to appropriate size and allow overlap of minimum 1 cm.
3. When applying Mepiform, make sure the area is clean and dry. When used together with ointment or cream, ensure the dressing covers an area beyond the cream.
4. Remove the release film and apply Mepiform over the scar. Avoid stretching when applying over joints.

Dressing change and removal

1. Mepiform should optimally be worn for 24 hours a day. Remove the dressing once per day for inspection and washing of the skin. The dressing can then be reapplied. Mepiform does not have to be washed/cleaned.
