Authors Take
Much like Mepitel this non-adherent product protects the wound bed during the removal of the secondary dressing. It also an appropriate barrier to protect the wound bed during removal of the VAC or S&N NPWT Therapy foam. The advantage of this product over Mepitel (which I have used for years) is that the the Conformant 2 comes in large sheets 12×12. It is also very easy to work with versus Mepitel (which seems to stick to everything and is hard to reposition on the wound bed).
Warning – The Conformant 2 Wound Veil is somewhat transparent which allows for some monitoring of a wound or graft. But it also blends well into granulating tissue. So make sure that you document your placement of the veil for the next person who changes the dressing.
