How does Mesalt works?

Molnlycke Mesalt Impregnated Dressing is applied dry. When it absorbs drainage the crystalline sodium chloride dissolves to create a hypertonic environment. This environment naturally wicks drainage, debris and edema into the dressing and supports the natural cleansing mechanism of the wound while providing a moist wound healing environment.
