Mepore Ultra - 7 x 8cm ~ Showerproof (60). The backing film allows showering and protects the wound from water and contamination.  It also protects clothing and bedlinen from blood or exudate strike-through.. Due to a highly absorbent pad and a high vapour permeability of the backing film, the dressing offers good total fluid handling.  The polyacrylate adhesive is designed to be gentle to the skin and at the same time provide secure fixation.. The easy-to-remove protection paper permits sterile application, as well as simplifies dressing application.  The stability of the fabric/film laminate also supports ease of application.
