Mesorb Absorbent Dressing 10cm x 20cm
Mesorb dressings are intended for use on moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Mesorb can be used as a primary dressing or as a secondary dressing where high absorbency is required.
This Mesorb dressing is highly absorbent, with a cellulose pulp core, a fluid-repellent nonwoven backing, and a polypropylene nonwoven wound-contact layer. The cellulose pulp core is designed to absorb and retain large quantities of wound exudate. The nonwoven fluid-repellent backing prevents external contamination of the wound whilst protecting clothes and bed linen from exudate strike-through. The polypropylene nonwoven wound contact layer will not absorb wound exudate, reducing adherence to the wound surface.
How to apply
- Clean the wound carefully and dry the surrounding skin
- Apply the dressing directly to the wound area or as a secondary dressing over a dressing which transfers exudate
- Secure at least 1 cm overlap on the surrounding skin
- Fix in place with a suitable fixation device
