ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, CONTACT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

Precautions

• If you see signs of infection e.g. fever or the wound or surrounding skin becoming red, warm or swollen, consult a health care professional for appropriate treatment.

• When used on partial thickness burns with high risk of rapid granulation or after facial resurfacing: avoid placing pressure upon the dressing, lift and reposition the dressing at least every second day.

• When used on bleeding wounds or wounds with high viscosity exudate, Mepitel® should be covered with a moist absorbent dressing pad.

• When Mepitel® is used for the fixation of skin grafts and protection of blisters, the dressing should not be changed before the fifth day post application.

• Do not use Mepitel® on patient and/or user with known hypersensitivity to the ingoing materials/components of the product.

• Do not reuse. If reused performance of the product may deteriorate, cross contamination may occur.

• Sterile. Do not use if inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilise.

Warnings

When Mepitel® is used in conjunction with NPWT systems, always document the numbers or cut pieces of Mepitel® used in the patient’s record to ensure that no Mepitel® is left in the wound when the dressing is changed.
