Molnlycke Mepitel Ag Antimicrobial Wound Contact Layer with Safetac Technology features porous structure which allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing and its safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and ensures atraumatic dressing changes by sealing around the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.
