Mepore Self-Adhesive Dressing – 9cm x 15cm

Absorbent – First Aid – Cuts – Grazes – Burns

This Merpore self-adhesive dressing that has an absorbent wound pad located centrally on a piece of apertured, non-woven polyester fabric coated with a layer of an acrylic adhesive. The wound pad is made of a non-woven viscose coated with a polyolefin layer to give a smooth surface and render it low-adherent. The polyester backing makes the product permeable and highly flexible, allowing it to conform well to body contours.

The dressing is presented individually wrapped in a peel pouch sterilised by ethylene oxide. Suitable for many types of lightly exuding superficial or postoperative wounds, particularly those on joints or awkward body contours.

How To Apply the Merpore Self-Adhesive Dressing

The dressing is removed from the peel pouch and one part of the release film is removed. The end of the dressing is then applied to the skin, and taking care not to stretch the backing, the second half of the release film is removed and the dressing smoothed gently into place.

Mepore should not be applied to patients who are sensitive to acrylic adhesives. Care should be taken when applying the dressing that it does not impair the movement or flexibility of joints.
