Product Description :

Mepiform silicone scar gel sheet is thin, discreet and flexible so it can be worn during day to day tasks. The dressing comes with Safetac® technology which minimizes pain to users and trauma to the skin at dressing change or removal.

Mepiform dressing consists of:

1. A breathable, conformable and shower proof laminate (non-absorbent polyurethane film and viscose nonwoven) 
2. A contact layer consisting of soft silicone unique adhesive (Safetac®) that adheres gently to fragile tissue and skin and ensures removal with least pain and trauma

Dressing Material Content:

Polyacrylate, polyurethane, silicone, viscose

Indications For Use :

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

How Mepiform Works & Its Wear Time:

Topical silicone empirically has been shown to have a positive effect on hypertrophic and keloid scars. Mepiform should optimally be worn 24 hours a day. It is suggested that Mepiform is removed once a day (e.g., at time of showering or bathing) for inspection and washing of the skin. It may take from 3 to 12 months or longer to improve an old scar, depending on the condition of the scar tissue. For prophylactic treatment, Mepiform should be used for 2 to 6 months depending on the condition of the scar.

Instructions For Use : 

Mepiform dressing can be used by lay persons under the supervision of a qualified health care professional.

Application

1. Open the packaging and remove the dressing.
2. If necessary cut to appropriate size allowing overlap of minimum 1 cm.
3. When applying Mepiform, make sure the area is 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.
2. Mepiform should under normal conditions be changed every 7 days or when the adherent properties of the dressing are no longer sufficient.
3. Mepiform is showerproof.

Disposal should be handled according to local environmental procedures.
