Melolin Sterile Dressing 5cm x 5cm 100 Dressings
Sterile Low-Adherent Absorbent Dressings for Cuts, Grazes, Minor Burns & Sutured Wounds
Melolin 5cm x 5cm is a sterile, low-adherent absorbent wound dressing from Smith+Nephew. The compact size is particularly useful for smaller wounds, while the 100-dressing professional pack provides a practical option for pharmacies, clinics, care settings, workplace first aid and regular wound-care requirements.
Overview
Melolin is a three-layer wound dressing designed to provide absorption, cushioning and a low-adherent wound-contact surface.
The dressing combines a perforated film wound-contact layer with an absorbent pad and protective backing. Wound fluid can pass through the film into the absorbent layer while the contact surface helps reduce adherence to the wound.
The 5cm x 5cm size is supplied in a box of 100 individually wrapped sterile dressings.

Helpful Product Information
Melolin is not a self-adhesive dressing. It needs to be held securely in place using suitable surgical tape, a dressing-retention bandage or another appropriate fixation product.
When applying Melolin, the shiny film side is placed directly against the wound.
For wounds producing heavier levels of exudate, professional product information indicates that Melolin may be used as a primary wound-contact layer with an additional absorbent secondary dressing where appropriate.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Always wash your hands before and after treating a wound.
Gently clean the wound and surrounding skin before applying a fresh sterile dressing. Make sure the dressing is appropriately secured without restricting circulation.
Check the wound whenever the dressing is changed. Increasing redness, swelling, warmth, discharge, worsening pain or other signs of infection should be medically assessed.
Seek prompt medical attention for serious wounds, deep wounds, uncontrolled bleeding, significant burns, animal or human bites, heavily contaminated wounds or wounds containing embedded objects.
People with diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation or impaired wound healing should seek professional advice for wounds that are not healing normally.
Not Suitable For
Melolin may not be appropriate as the sole dressing for:
- Serious or extensive burns
- Deep wounds requiring medical treatment
- Uncontrolled or heavy bleeding
- Wounds requiring specialist exudate management
- Wounds showing significant signs of infection
- Complex or chronic wounds requiring specialist wound-care assessment
Smith+Nephew advises seeking medical advice immediately for serious wounds and burns and if redness or discomfort occurs.
How to Use
- Wash your hands before treating the wound.
- Gently clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin.
- Open an individual sterile Melolin pouch.
- Remove the dressing without unnecessarily touching the wound-contact surface.
- Place the shiny film side directly against the wound.
- Secure the dressing using suitable surgical tape or a dressing-retention bandage.
- Change the dressing daily, or more frequently according to the condition of the wound.
- Wash your hands after completing the dressing change.
Each dressing is for single use only.
Dressing Composition
Melolin has a three-layer construction consisting of:
- Perforated film wound-contact layer
- Absorbent material
- Protective backing layer
Published Irish professional product information describes the dressing as having a polyethylene terephthalate film, absorbent material and cellulose fabric.
The wound-contact film allows fluid to pass into the absorbent pad while helping reduce adherence.
