Melolin Sterile Dressing 5cm x 5cm - Single
Sterile Low-Adherent Absorbent Dressing for Smaller Wounds
Melolin 5cm x 5cm is a sterile, low-adherent absorbent wound dressing from Smith+Nephew. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for smaller wounds, providing an absorbent pad with a low-adherent wound-contact surface to help protect and cushion the affected area.
Overview
Melolin is designed for wounds where a sterile, absorbent and low-adherent dressing is appropriate.
The dressing combines a perforated wound-contact film with an absorbent pad and protective backing. The film allows wound fluid to pass into the absorbent layer while helping minimise adherence of the dressing to the wound.
This product is supplied as one individually wrapped sterile 5cm x 5cm Melolin dressing.

Helpful Product Information
Melolin is not a self-adhesive dressing.
Once positioned over the wound, it should be secured using suitable surgical tape, a dressing-retention bandage or another appropriate fixation product.
When applying the dressing, place the shiny film side directly against the wound.
The 5cm x 5cm size is particularly useful for smaller wounds where a larger dressing may be unnecessary.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Wash and dry your hands before treating a wound. Gently clean the wound and surrounding area before applying a fresh sterile dressing.
Check the wound whenever the dressing is changed. Increasing redness, swelling, warmth, discharge, worsening pain or fever may indicate infection and should be medically assessed.
Seek prompt medical attention for deep or serious 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 do not heal normally.
Not Suitable For
Melolin may not be suitable as the sole dressing for:
- Deep or serious wounds
- Severe or extensive burns
- Uncontrolled or heavy bleeding
- Heavily exuding wounds requiring specialist management
- Wounds showing significant signs of infection
- Complex or chronic wounds requiring specialist wound care
Seek professional medical advice where the severity or nature of the wound is uncertain.
How to Use
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Gently clean the wound and surrounding skin as appropriate.
- Open the individual sterile pouch.
- Remove the Melolin dressing without unnecessarily touching the wound-contact surface.
- Place the shiny film side directly against the wound.
- Secure with suitable surgical tape, a retention bandage or another appropriate fixation product.
- Change the dressing according to the condition of the wound and any healthcare advice provided.
- Dispose of the used dressing appropriately.
- Wash your hands after the dressing change.
Each dressing is for single use only.
Dressing Composition
Melolin uses a three-layer construction comprising:
