Melolin consists of a highly absorbent cotton and polyester fibre pad with a hydrophobic backing layer which is heat bonded on one side to a very thin perforated polyester film.
Benefits Melolin has a low adherent perforated film which allows for rapid drainage of any fluid that may leak from the wound, thereby reducing trauma to healing tissue. The highly absorbent cotton/polyester pad provides patient comfort and minimises pain on removal. Melolin is easily cut to shape and retains its integrity when cut. It provides a significant improvement in terms of strike-through and, therefore, fewer dressing changes will be required.
