Melolin consists of three layers:
1)Low adherent perforated film
2)Highly absorbent cotton/acrylic pad
3)Hydrophobic backing layer
Melolin* consists of a highly absorbent cotton and acrylic fibre pad 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.
Low adherent perforated film allows for rapid drainage of exudate, reducing trauma to healing tissue
