Mesalt® Dressing, Sodium Chloride Impregnated

Mesalt Sodium Chloride Dressing

Mesalt is a sterile sodium chloride impregnated dressing from Molnlycke designed to stimulate the cleansing of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. The absorbent viscose/polyester non-woven dressing is impregnated with sodium chloride, which creates an osmotic effect and a hypertonic environment in the wound. As wound discharge contacts the dressing, the sodium chloride is released, drawing out exudate containing bacteria and necrotic material to facilitate natural wound healing. Mesalt is strong enough to withstand handling during use and removal. The 10 x 10cm size is the largest pad in the range, providing broader coverage for larger wound sites. It can be cut to shape if needed. Each box contains 30 or 10 individually packaged sterile dressings.
