Melolin Non-Adherent Wound Dressing
Melolin is a clinical-standard non-adherent wound dressing used in hospitals, primary care, and workplace first aid. The perforated film wound contact layer prevents adhesion to the wound bed, enabling pain-free dressing changes. The cotton and polyester absorbent pad manages wound exudate while maintaining a dry environment that promotes healing.

Compliance Summary: Melolin is a medical device providing clinical-standard non-adherent wound coverage. Widely used in NHS hospitals and primary care for wounds requiring regular dressing changes where adhesion to the wound bed must be prevented.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Melolin prevent sticking to the wound?
Melolin uses a perforated polyester film on the wound contact surface. The perforations allow wound exudate to pass through into the absorbent pad behind, but the smooth film surface does not bond to the wound bed. This one-way absorption keeps the wound surface dry while preventing the dressing from adhering during healing.
Is Melolin the same as Jelonet?
Both are non-adherent dressings but they work differently. Melolin uses a perforated film layer to prevent adhesion. Jelonet uses paraffin-impregnated gauze. Melolin is better suited to wounds with moderate exudate as the absorbent pad manages fluid. Jelonet is preferred for very raw wound surfaces where even Melolin's film layer might cause discomfort.
