Mepore Click to zoom Self-adhesive absorbent dressing Mepore is the original self-adhesive absorbent dressing. The result of continuous innovation over the past 30 years, Mepore combines gentle and secure fixation with excellent absorption properties and ease of use. 30 years of dependability Since 1979, more than 1.5 billion original Mepore dressings have been sold. Perhaps because Mepore was the world's first self-adhesive dressing*. Perhaps because of the continual performance updates, keeping up with the needs of patients and professionals and setting the standards for all conventional dressings along the way. But mostly, we think, for one simple unsurprising reason: dependable performance, shift in and shift out. Since day one.

The polyester backing makes the product permeable and highly flexible, allowing it to conform well to body contours. The dressing is protected by two pieces of overlapping release paper which are easy to remove and allow for aseptic application. Mode of action The adhesive border of Mepore seals the area surrounding the wound in order to avoid external contamination. Mepore is water repellant (not moisture-proof) and provides physical protection to the wound. Intended use Self-adhesive sterile absorbent dressing intended for treating low to moderately exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions. Instruction for use Application: Open package. Remove dressing. Grip both overlapping release papers, exposing adhesive surface allowing initial fixation of the dressing. Position the dressing on the skin without stretching and gently remove the rest of the release papers. Firmly smooth adhesive border to the skin. Do not stretch the dressing when applying. The frequency of dressing changes will be governed by the condition of the underlying wound. Upon removal grasp the edge and slowly peel the dressing from the skin in the direction of hair growth. Frequency of change The frequency of dressing changes should be governed by the condition of the wound in accordance with accepted clinical practice Precautions Care should be taken to ensure that Mepore is not applied under tension, to prevent shearing forces causing damage to the skin. This is particularly important when the dressing is applied over joints. Mepore should not be applied to patients who are known to be sensitive to acrylic adhesives or to individuals who have very fragile or easily damaged skin. Sterility is guaranteed unless inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. FAQ Top ten most frequently asked questions Technical information Clinical & handling information Top t
