Sorry for my delay. As said by noosa_blue150, Mepitel is on 27/7.
It protects the skin from dehydration and friction.
I had no burning at all, with 25 sessions.
The nurses patched it up as necessary.
I would have had it on for approx 1 week after R/T completed, when it was quite loose.
I recommend it, but not all R/T places use it.
I had it in a Public Hospital, in SA.
