Description
There is a plastic film that is present to prevent the dressing adhering to the surface of the wound, and is perforated to allow the passage of exudate from the wound into the body of the pad. Melolin may be used on its own to dress dry sutured wounds, superficial cuts and abrasions, and other lightly exuding lesions. It may also be used as the primary wound contact layer for more heavily exuding wounds, if backed by a second absorbent dressing.
How to Use
Step 1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound.
Step 2. Gently clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin.
Step 3. Remove dressing from pouch.
Step 4. Apply the MELOLIN pad to the wound. The shiny film side goes directly onto the wound.
Step 5. Secure MELOLIN in place with a surgical tape or dressing retention bandage.
Step 6. Change dressing daily, or more often according to the condition of the wound.
Warnings
