What is Mepitac Safetac Technology?

Safetac is a patented soft silicone adhesive technology. Mepitac medical tape with Safetac is atraumatic both during use and upon removal. It provides a major development in minimizing patient pain and trauma to the skin. The soft silicone layer provides secure fixation but does not cause epidermal stripping or pain on removal. Safetac technology seals the wound margin to protect the skin from damaging leaks and maceration.
