30 years of being there for you

Since 1979, more than 1.5 billion original Mepore dressings have been sold. Perhaps because Mepore was the world's first self-adhesive dressing*. Perhaps because of the continual performance updates, keeping up with the needs of patients and professionals and setting the standards for all conventional dressings along the way. But mostly, we think, for one simple unsurprising reason: dependable performance, shift in and shift out. Since day one.

How to use

Product description

The Mepore Film & Pad consists of a transparent polyurethane film coated with a polyacrylic adhesive and a wound pad. The wound pad is an absorbent viscose pad with a low-adherent wound contact layer. The vapour permeable film is water resistant and provides a barrier which protects from fluid strike through and bacterial contamination. Mepore Film & Pad conforms well to body contours.

Mode of action

Intended use

Mepore Film & Pad is intended for use on low to moderately exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions.

Instruction for use

Application:

1. Open the sterile pack and remove the dressing.
2. Clean the application area. Dry the healthy surrounding skin.
3. Remove the protection paper (printed Mepore) to expose the adhesive.
4. Apply Mepore Film & Pad and remove the paper frame.
5. Remove the two white paper side tabs.

Dressing change and removal

1. The dressing may be left in place for several days depending on the wound/skin condition or as indicated by good clinical practice.
2. Lift a corner of the dressing and gently pull the film along the skin (in the direction of hair growth).

Frequency of change

The frequency of dressing changes should be governed by the condition of the wound in accordance with accepted clinical practice.

Precautions

Mepore Film & Pad should not be applied on patients who are sensitive to acrylic adhesive.

 Care should be taken to minimise skin tension that could cause mechanical damage to the skin.

The wound should be inspected for signs of infection according to clinical practice. In case of clinical signs of infection (pain, redness, swelling or unusual odour or discharge) continued use of Mepore Film & Pad should be determined by a health care professional
