Key Benefits of Mepiform

Mepiform offers a range of advantages for effective scar treatment:

• Effective Scar Reduction: Clinically proven to help flatten, soften, and reduce the discoloration (redness) of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
• Prophylactic Use: Can be used preventatively on closed wounds to reduce the risk of hypertrophic or keloid scar formation.
• Comfortable and Discreet: The thin and flexible design conforms to body contours, making it comfortable to wear and barely noticeable.
• Self-Adhesive: No additional fixation needed, ensuring easy and secure application.
• Reusable and Economical: Can be worn continuously for up to 24 hours a day and reapplied after daily hygiene, making it a cost-effective solution.
• Shower-Proof: Designed to stay in place even during showering, maintaining its efficacy.
• Breathable Material: Minimizes the risk of skin maceration and irritation under the dressing.

How to Use Mepiform

1. Clean and Dry: Ensure the scar area and surrounding skin are clean and thoroughly dry before application.
2. Cut to Size: If necessary, cut the Mepiform dressing to the desired size. It should cover the entire scar and extend slightly onto the healthy skin surrounding it (approximately 1-2 cm overlap).
3. Remove Release Film: Carefully peel off the protective release film from the adhesive side of the dressing.
4. Apply Gently: Apply the Mepiform dressing directly over the scar, ensuring there are no creases or air bubbles. Smooth it down firmly.
5. Continuous Wear: Mepiform can be worn continuously for up to 24 hours a day, including during showering. Remove it once daily for skin inspection and hygiene (washing the scar and dressing with mild soap and water if needed).
6. Reapply: After cleaning, allow both the skin and the dressing to dry completely before reapplying. Mepiform can be reused for several days, depending on adhesion, until it loses its stickiness.
7. Duration of Treatment: Treatment duration is typically 3 months or longer, depending on the scar condition. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Caution & Warnings

• Not for use on open wounds, infected skin, or broken skin. Apply only to closed, healed scars.
• Discontinue use if any signs of irritation, maceration, or allergic reaction occur. Consult a healthcare professional.
• For external use only.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
• Do not stretch the dressing excessively during application, as this may cause skin tension.
