Description
The Melolite 7.5 x 5 cm Non Adherent Dressing by Smith & Nephew is expertly crafted to provide gentle care for a variety of wounds. Its design focuses on minimizing discomfort during dressing changes, making it an ideal choice for sensitive applications.
Key Features
- Non-Adherent Design: The dressing features a low-adherent perforated polyester film on both sides, ensuring that it does not stick to the wound. This reduces pain and trauma during removal.

- Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Free from adhesives, it minimizes the risk of irritation or allergic reactions, making it suitable for fragile tissues.
Usage Instructions
- Application: Place either side of the dressing directly onto the wound. Secure with a secondary dressing or bandage.
- Change Frequency: Recommended to change every 2-3 days, or more often if necessary due to moisture or staining.
- Not Suitable for High Exudate Wounds: Best used for wounds such as minor burns, surgical incisions, lacerations, cuts, abrasions, and post-nail surgery care.
Material Composition
- Cotton Pad: Provides absorbency and comfort.
- Polyester Film: Heat-laminated and perforated for optimal performance.
