Description
For injuries of all kinds, whether cuts, abrasions, minor burns, exuding wounds, or after operations.
Application
1. Clean the wound according to clinical practice. 2. Carefully dry the skin surrounding the wound. The use of moisturizers, gels, or ointments on the skin surrounding the wound can impair adhesion and should be avoided. 3. Remove the protective films and apply the adhesive side to the skin without stretching the dressing. Ensure that the absorbent pad covers the wound. 4. Gently press the edge to ensure proper adhesion to the skin.
To remove the dressing, grasp it by the edge and slowly pull it off the skin in the direction of hair growth.
Care should be taken not to apply Mepore under tension to avoid shear forces that can lead to skin damage. When applying over joints, ensure that the flexibility of the joint is not impaired. After some surgical procedures, excessive swelling may occur. In this case, it may be better to use a more flexible dressing to minimize skin tension.
Mepore should be changed before it is fully saturated, at the first sign of leakage, or according to clinical practice.
