Description

Mepore Film by Mölnlycke Health Care is a versatile, transparent polyurethane film dressing designed to provide effective wound care management. This sterile, self-adhesive dressing is ideal for covering and protecting clean, non-exuding wounds, as well as securing other dressings like hydrogels or alginates.

Key Features

• Transparency: Allows easy monitoring of the wound without removing the dressing.
• Breathability: Highly permeable to moisture vapor, helping to maintain an optimal moist wound environment and prevent maceration.
• Barrier Protection: Acts as a barrier against viruses and bacteria larger than 25 nm, while remaining impermeable to fluids.
• Flexibility: Conforms to body contours, allowing for comfortable movement.
• Shower-Proof: Protects the wound even during showering.

Application

Mepore Film is designed for easy application, featuring a supporting release paper and frame that facilitates aseptic handling, even when gloves are worn. This ensures secure and gentle fixation through its water-based, solvent-free adhesive.

Indications for Use

Suitable for a variety of wounds such as superficial burns, IV sites, abrasions, lacerations, donor sites, closed surgical wounds, and superficial pressure ulcers. It also aids in the prevention of skin breakdown and serves effectively as a secondary dressing.
