Melolin Sterile Dressing 20cm x 10cm 100 Dressings
Sterile Low-Adherent Absorbent Dressings for Larger Wounds
Melolin 20cm x 10cm is a sterile, low-adherent absorbent wound dressing from Smith+Nephew. Designed for the management of wounds where a larger absorbent dressing is required, Melolin combines a perforated wound-contact film with a soft absorbent pad to help protect the wound while allowing wound fluid to pass into the dressing.
Overview
Melolin is a low-adherent absorbent dressing suitable for wounds including cuts, grazes, minor burns and sutured wounds. The larger 20cm x 10cm format provides greater coverage than the smaller Melolin sizes.
The dressing contains a highly absorbent cotton and acrylic fibre pad heat-bonded to a thin, perforated polyester film. The film side is placed directly against the wound, allowing fluid to pass into the absorbent pad while helping reduce adherence during dressing changes.
This professional presentation contains 100 sterile 20cm x 10cm dressings. Irish medical suppliers confirm this size is available in packs of 100.

Who Is It For

Key Benefits
The perforated polyester film provides a low-adherent wound-contact surface.
The soft cotton and acrylic fibre pad provides absorption for wound fluid.
Fluid can pass through the perforated film into the absorbent dressing pad.
The dressing provides cushioning and helps protect the wound from dirt.
Smith+Nephew states that Melolin allows the skin to breathe and can be cut to shape while retaining its integrity.
The larger 20cm x 10cm format provides useful coverage for wounds where a smaller 5cm x 5cm or 10cm x 10cm dressing would not be sufficient.

Helpful Product Information
Correct orientation is important when applying Melolin. The shiny film side should be placed directly against the wound.
Melolin does not have an adhesive border. It therefore needs to be secured using suitable surgical tape, a dressing-retention bandage or another appropriate fixation method.
Smith+Nephew also states that Melolin can be used with an appropriate secondary dressing where required.
Melolin can be cut to shape and is designed to retain its integrity when cut.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Wash and dry your hands before and after treating a wound.
Gently clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin before applying a fresh sterile dressing. Avoid touching the wound-contact surface unnecessarily.
Check the wound during dressing changes. Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, discharge, worsening pain or other signs of infection should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
Seek prompt medical attention for serious or deep wounds, uncontrolled bleeding, significant burns, animal or human bites, heavily contaminated wounds or wounds containing embedded foreign material.
People with diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation or impaired wound healing should seek professional advice if a wound is 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 assessment
Smith+Nephew advises seeking medical attention for serious wounds and burns and if redness or discomfort occurs.

- Wash your hands before treating the wound.
- Gently clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin.

Melolin uses a multi-layer construction including:
