Product Information

Mepitel ® One can be used in the management of a wide range of acute and chronic wounds ( table 1). A wound is considered a complicated problem. Treatment efficiency depends on various aspects, including patient comorbidities, diagnosis, physiological condition, anatomical placement, and wound size. Consequently, the general guideline is that dressing selection is customized to the wound and cancer patient, with the direction and attention of physicians with wound treatment experience [ 12, 13]. This would support patients in receiving the appropriate treatment, achieving maximum efficiency, and avoiding adverse reactions during treatment.

However, further research and development are needed to validate modern dressing methods. Currently available dressing methods are critical to establishing a moist environment for wound healing, pain relief, and antibacterial protection. Unfortunately, only a few clinical trials have been conducted to assess the efficacy of these popular modern dressings. Trials on wound dressing effectiveness are typically performed on less complicated wounds, resulting in oversimplification of the actual clinical aspects.
