Melolin consists of a highly absorbent cotton and polyester fibre pad with a
hydrophobic backing layer which is heat bonded on one side to a very thin
perforated polyester film. The film side of the dressing is placed next to the
wound.
Melolin is suitable for post-operative and casualty use, in particular for
light to moderately exuding wounds, including:
Clean and sutured wounds
Abrasions and lacerations
