In an open, two-arm, multi-centre, parallel-group randomised controlled trial of outpatients with moderately exudating, uncomplicated acute wounds, David et al (2017) compared Mepitel ® One with a soft silicone adhesive layer with a lipido-colloid adhesive layer. In 123 patients, the randomised clinical trial found Mepitel ® One was significantly less painful to remove compared to a lipido-colloid adhesive layer. A comparison on healing by day 21 was made. At this time, significantly more patients treated with Mepitel One had healed compared to those treated with a lipido-colloid adhesive layer. Mepitel is clinically provento heal scalds faster and with less pain and cost, compared to silver sulfadiazine This silver foam dressing can inactivate wound relevant pathogens (bacteria and fungi) within 30 minutes, as shown in vitro . An international consensus has concluded that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection .
