It can be applied together with Mesorb ®; or for high-exuding wounds with Mextra ® Superabsorbent; with tubular fixation such Tubifast ® 2-Way Stretch ® or under compression bandages. Mepitel One offers high transparency allowing you to instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer.
