Description
The Molnlycke Mepiform® Scar Care Dressing is a self-adherent, silicone-based dressing designed to help manage and prevent the formation of hypertrophic and keloid scars. Featuring Safetac® soft silicone technology, Mepiform gently adheres to the skin without sticking to the wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes while protecting sensitive tissue.
Ideal for both new and old scars, as well as prophylactic use on closed wounds, Mepiform helps flatten, soften, and fade scars over time. Its thin, flexible, and discreet design conforms comfortably to the body, making it easy to wear under clothing during daily activities.

Advanced Scar Management with Safetac® Technology
Mepiform’s Safetac® layer adheres securely to dry skin while sealing the wound margins, reducing the risk of maceration and protecting newly formed tissue. Unlike traditional adhesives, Safetac allows the dressing to be removed and reapplied without damaging skin or causing pain, improving patient comfort and compliance throughout the healing process.
Proven Silicone-Based Performance
Silicone dressings like Mepiform are clinically proven to help flatten raised scars, reduce redness, and improve elasticity by maintaining optimal moisture balance in the scar tissue. Regular use over two to six months—ideally for 24 hours per day except during bathing—can significantly enhance scar appearance and comfort.
