Melolite dressings are constructed from an absorbent pad

which helps distribute the fluid, thus avoiding

the problems of immediate exudate strike-through,

covered on both sides with a heat-laminated polyester film.

This film acts as a low-adherent wound contact layer by

allowing the rapid passage of exudate through its

elliptical holed construction into the absorbent pad.

This minimises the risk of adherence to the wound

and the related trauma on dressing removal.

Either side of the dressing can be placed

directly onto the wound site.
