How to use Mepilex Ag Silver Dressing with Safetac?

Only Mepilex Ag Dressing with Safetac combines the best of two superior technologies – the antimicrobial action of ionic silver with the benefits of Safetac soft silicone technology. Topical Silicone has been shown to have a positive impact on hypertrophic and keloid scars. 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 tissue.

How Safetac technology Work?

Safetac technology is a clinically proven adhesive that causes less pain at the time of removal. This molds to the skin’s uneven surface pores, while other adherents simply stick to the top on the skin’s surface, and this molding action is the secret of minimizing the pain, wound, and skin damage. It seals the edges of the wound and protects the skin around the wound.

Safetac technology makes dressing changes less painful because:
