Mepitel and Mepilex, What is the difference?
I have just started Radiotherapy. Has anyone had good success with either of these dressings? Does anyone know the difference between these 2 dressings?
Are you at the nRAH @abbydog? That's where I was and they would patch it during the week, I'd take it off Friday arvo and then it would be replaced before treatment on Monday. Moisturiser only used after taking it off and over the weekend. Just wondering, is the area completely clean (no moisturiser) before you get it put on? And are you keeping the area well out of the water and steam in the shower? I also wore quite soft bras only when I was out and about during treatment - the rest of the time was loose clothing and no bra.
