Melolin Melolin is a low-adherent absorbent dressing for light to moderately exuding wounds including clean sutured wounds, abrasions, lacerations & minor burns. For lightly exuding wounds it may be used on its own & secured in position with surgical tape, or for more heavily exuding wounds it may be used as a wound contact layer, beneath a secondary absorbent pad. Melolin features a plastic film to prevent the dressing adhering to the surface of the wound & is perforated to allow the exudate to be absorbed by the dressing. Melolin is sterile & each dressing is individually wrapped.
