Melolin* Non Adherent Dressings (Highly Absorbent)

Melolin consists of a highly absorbent cotton and acrylic fibre pad which is heat bonded on one side to a very thin perforated polyester film. The film side of the dressing is placed next to the wound.

Melolin consists of three layers
1 Non adherent perforated film
2 Highly absorbent cotton/acrylic pad
3 Hydrophobic backing layer

Melolin is suitable for post-operative and casualty use, in particular for:
- Clean and sutured wounds
