Mepore Dressing 9cm x 10cm x1

Mepore Dressing 9cm x 10cm x1 Description

Mepore is the original self-adhesive absorbent dressing. The result of continual innovation over the past 30 years, Mepore combines gentle and secure fixation with excellent absorption properties and ease of use.

Areas of use

Mepore can be used in a wide variety of wounds which have low to moderate exudate levels. These include surgical wounds, cuts and grazes.

How Mepore works
The porous structure of the Sontara* nonwoven fabric ensures air and water vapour permeability. The fabric is stretchable, conforms well to body contours and allows body movements when in place. The fabric is non-absorbent and provides a barrier for blood and fluid strike-through. The polyacrylate adhesive has been designed to be gentle to the skin but at the same time provide secure fixation. The wound pad can absorb moderate amounts of wound fluids and the low-adherent surface reduces the risk of adherence to the wound. The easy-to-remove protection foil permits sterile application, as well as simplifying dressing application.

Design
Mepore is made of an elastic, non-absorbent nonwoven coated with a skin- friendly polyacrylate adhesive. The absorbent wound pad has a low adherent polyolefin coating to prevent trauma during dressing changes. The dressing area is protected with a release liner.
