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.
- Highly Absorbent: Constructed with a cotton pad that effectively manages low to moderate exudate, preventing fluid strike-through and maintaining a clean wound environment.
- Flexible and Conformable: Lightweight and adaptable, it conforms to various body areas, including joints and other challenging locations.
- 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.
Sterility and Care
Each dressing is provided in a sterile format, ensuring hygiene and safety. It is advised not to substitute this dressing with gauze or adhesive tapes to maintain proper wound care standards.
The Melolite Non Adherent Dressing is a reliable and effective solution for managing low-exuding wounds, promoting healing while safeguarding against unnecessary discomfort.
