How Mephitel Film Works

Mepitel Film provides a flexible, transparent covering to protect the skin or wound from microbial contamination, fluid strike through and from other external contamination while conforming to surface irregularities and body contours.

Mepitel Film maintains a moist environment even though the vapour permeability allows excess moisture pass away from the skin. Mepitel Film provides instant tack adhesion that minimizes the requirement of extra pressure to fixate well.

Mepitel Film can not be used as primary fixation for IV, cannulae, ports or other infusion and or life sustaining devices.
