Why Chosse Mesalt Dressing?
Mesalt Dressing is a specialized wound care product designed for the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It is made from a fine mesh of sodium chloride-impregnated gauze, which effectively absorbs wound exudate and encourages the natural cleansing of the wound. Mesalt dressings are especially useful for deep, infected, or necrotic wounds, as the sodium chloride draws out moisture, debris, and bacteria from the wound bed, promoting faster healing. The dressing is non-adherent, which minimizes trauma during dressing changes, reducing pain and irritation for the patient. Mesalt is often used for wounds such as ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and pressure sores that require thorough exudate management. Its ability to manage high levels of wound fluid while promoting a cleaner healing environment makes it an essential tool in advanced wound care.
When to use this dressing?
- Heavily draining and discharging infected wounds in the inflammatory phase
- Wounds with moderate to heavy drainage, including wounds with yellow slough or fibrin
- Deep cavity wounds
- Pressure Ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Medium to high exudation
- Skin care
Contraindications
- Wounds with little or no drainage
How does Mesalt work?
Molnlycke Mesalt Impregnated Dressing is applied dry. When it absorbs drainage the crystalline sodium chloride dissolves to create a hypertonic environment. This environment naturally wicks drainage, debris, and edema into the dressing and supports the natural cleansing mechanism of the wound while providing a moist wound-healing environment.
