How Molnlycke Mepore Surgical Dressing Works?

• The porous structure of the nonwoven fabric ensures air and water vapour permeability. 
• Fabric is flexible and conforms well to body contours
• The fabric is nonabsorbent and provides a water-repellent barrier for blood and fluid strike-through.
• Polyacrylate adhesive has been designed to be gentle to the skin while at the same time providing secure fixation. 
• Wound pad provides ideal absorption for sutured surgical wounds and features a low-adherent wound contact layer. 
• Since Mepore is radio parent, it can remain in place during x-ray
