FAQs
What are Mepore dressings used for?
Mepore is a sterile, self-adhesive dressing used to cover and protect wounds such as minor cuts and abrasions, and to provide a protective cover where an adhesive dressing is suitable.
How do I pick the right Mepore dressing size?
Choose a dressing that fully covers the wound pad area and allows the adhesive border to sit on clean, dry skin around the wound. If you’re between sizes, a slightly larger dressing can help with edge security.
How often should I change a Mepore dressing?
Follow the directions on the packaging and change sooner if the dressing becomes loose, wet, soiled, or there is leakage. Wash hands before and after dressing changes.
Can Mepore be used after surgery?
Mepore dressings can be used where an adhesive dressing is appropriate, but always follow your clinician’s post-operative instructions. Ask a pharmacist or your GP if you’re unsure what’s recommended for your wound.
Is Mepore suitable for sensitive skin?
Mepore is designed to be gentle, but adhesives can irritate some skin types. Stop use if you notice redness, itching, blistering, or discomfort and seek advice on an alternative dressing.
Are Mepore dressings waterproof?
Mepore dressings are breathable and are not a substitute for a fully waterproof covering. If you need protection for bathing or swimming, look for products specifically labelled as waterproof and ask a pharmacist if unsure.
When should I seek medical advice for a wound?
Seek advice from a pharmacist, NHS 111, or your GP if a wound is deep, won’t stop bleeding, has increasing redness, heat, swelling, pus, worsening pain, or if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or a weakened immune system.
