Product Description

Melolin- Low Adherent Wound Dressing 

Low adherent, low absorbent wound dressing helps draw exudates away from the wound

For heavier wounds use as a contact layer beneath secondary absorbent pad

Film surface helps prevent pad from sticking to the wound surface and minimises trauma for casualty upon removal

Individually wrapped and sterile

Use dressing retention sheets or microporous tape to hold dressing in place

Ideal for abrasions, superficial cuts and lightly exuding wounds.

Melolin Dressings can be used on their own to dress dry sutured wounds, superficial cuts and abrasions, and other lightly exuding lesions. The dressing can also be used as the primary wound contact layer for more heavily exuding wounds. The plastic film prevents the dressing adhering to the surface of the wound, and is perforated to allow the passage of exudates from the wound into the body of the pad. The film also minimises trauma for casualty upon removal. Melolin Dressings should be used with caution in the treatment of leg ulcers that produce copious quantities of very viscous exudates that can become trapped under the dressing. The frequency of change depends entirely upon the nature and condition of the wound. Melolin Dressings are individually wrapped and steam sterilised.
