Mepore Film and Pad: Breathable Transparent Self-Adhesive Wound Dressing

Mepore Film is a breathable, transparent self-adhesive wound dressing designed for clean wounds in the granulation phase, including superficial burns, lacerations, abrasions, and closed surgical incisions. The film conforms to the body, provides a protective barrier against fluids and bacteria, and is suitable for both primary dressing and secondary fixation. Note: Processing and handling typically take 3 to 5 working days.

• Material: Breathable polyurethane film with a skin-friendly acrylate adhesive and a low-adherent wound contact layer, plus an integrated absorbent pad to manage exudate.
• Design: Transparent, flexible film that contours to body surfaces and adapts to movement for comfortable wear.
• Protection: Acts as a barrier against fluids and microbial penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape to reduce maceration.
• Adhesion: Self-adhesive and skin-friendly, designed for secure fixation without excessive trauma on removal; easy to apply with gloves.
• Versatility: Suitable as a primary dressing for a wide range of clean wounds and for secondary fixation on larger areas.
• Skin Care: Low-adherent wound contact layer minimizes friction injuries and helps protect surrounding skin during changes.

Benefits: This dressing supports a protective healing environment by sealing out contaminants, reducing the risk of leak-through, and remaining comfortable on the skin during daily activities. The transparent film lets caregivers monitor the wound without re-opening the dressing, while the gentle adhesion respects sensitive skin and minimizes removal trauma.
