I used Mepitel for 15 treatments and had no burns. I had to supply my own. The radiologist applied it the first time, and my husband did subsequent changes. I changed film approx once a week, whenever the loose edges got too close to the breast. Highly recommend this product!

I used mepiel and had zero skin reactions. I had a little rash above where they placed it so they might not have covered the complete area, but no skin reactions at all under the film. There have been a lot of studies on it showing it reduces radiation symptoms in breast cancer patients by 80%. Strongly recommended as well.
