Mepitel One is a wound contact layer designed for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as; skin tears, skin abrasions, surgical incisions, partial thickness burns, traumatic wounds, partial and full thickness grafts, radiated skin, leg and foot ulcers.
Mesorb® is a soft, highly absorbent dressing which has high retention capacity for good exudate management. The fluid-repellent backing prevents outer contamination of the wound and protects clothes and bed linen from exudate strike-through. As the backing covers the sides of the dressing, it also prevents side leakage.
The dressing is designed to absorb and retain large volumes of wound exudate and is therefore indicated for the treatment of most types of moderate to heavily exuding wounds.
Mesorb may be used either as a primary dressing or as a secondary absorbent layer to improve the fluid handling properties of other primary dressings such as Mepitel, or those made from alginate or carboxy-methylcellulose fibres.
Mesorb may be used under compression bandaging although the fluid handling properties will be reduced when the dressing is subjected to pressure
