Description
Mepore® is a breathable, absorbent, self-adhesive dressing for a wide variety of wounds with low to moderate exudate levels – such as surgical wounds, cuts, and abrasions. The dressing fixes gently and securely to the skin with a skin-friendly, water-based adhesive, and it’s air permeable to prevent maceration of the wound.
Water-based, solvent-free adhesive provides gentle fixation
Wound contact layer is low-adherent
Breathable to prevent maceration and help maintain a moist wound environment
Easy-to-remove protection paper is also aseptic
Fabric is conformable and flexible to allow body movement

| How to Use | 1. Cleanse the wound in accordance to clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Usage of moisturizers, gels or ointments on the skin surrounding the wound may affect the adhesion and should be avoided. 2. Remove the release liners and apply the sticky side to the skin without stretching the dressing. Ensure that the absorbent pad covers the wound. 3. Gently press the border to ensure proper adhesion to the skin. 4. Upon removal grasp the edge and slowly peel the dressing from the skin in the direction of hair growth. Care should be taken to ensure that Mepore is not applied under tension, to prevent shear forces causing damage to the skin. When applying over joints be careful to apply in such a way that it does not impair flexibility of the joint. After some surgical interventions excessive swelling may occur. In such case it could be better to use a more flexible dressing in order to minimise skin tension. |
