Wound care solutions
Our heritage: 25 years of healing, care and innovation
The story of how Mepilex helped revolutionise wound care
The Mepilex® family of dressings has touched millions of lives since it was first developed over 25 years ago. The core innovation behind the Mepilex dressing range is Safetac®, the adhesive used in our early Mepitel dressings designed specifically to minimise damage to the wound and skin and, as a consequence, pain at dressing removal.
