Has anyone used Mepitel for radiation? Did it help?

@svb How much of it did you need? I'm looking to order as I will be having radiation soon. I'm out of state so will have to have it shipped etc. I'm trying to figure out how much to order from the Mayo Clinic store. Did you order the smaller or the larger size sheet? Thanks so much for any insights you can provide.

@jmccap my Proton Therapy center wouldn’t use it on me and I got 3rd degree burns. If you can get your radiation center to use it, say YES. And if you have some on hand, order as much as you can!!

I purchased 2 of the
15 x 20 cm and 2 of the 10 x 25 cm.
When showering, I placed a hand towel over the area where the Mepitel was and that kept it from peeling off. I only needed to have a little bit patched a few times.
Hope this helps and please reach out with any questions.
