Mepiform®

Posted: 1 July 2011

Mepiform®
Mepiform is a thin and discreet dressing for treating scars. No extra fixation is needed. Mepiform conforms to body contours and can be worn in daily activities. It can be lifted from the skin without losing its adherent properties, allowing for re-application. Mepiform is used by medical professionals for scar treatment and clinical studies have shown that topical treatment with silicone gel sheeting has a positive impact on scar formation (Mustoe et al, 2002).
 
Mepiform can be used on areas of old and new red and raised hypertrophic and keloid scars, as well as healed surgical wounds to reduce the risk of scarring.
