About Mepore Dressings ▾
Shipping within Canada only.
Mepore dressings by Mölnlycke are self-adhesive absorbent wound dressings used in hospitals, clinics, and home care across Canada. The range includes Mepore standard (self-adhesive absorbent), Mepore Pro (showerproof with bacterial barrier), Mepore Film (transparent, waterproof), and Mepore Film & Pad (waterproof with built-in absorbent pad). My Everything Store carries all Mepore variants in popular sizes including 6×7 cm, 9×10 cm, 9×15 cm, and 9×25 cm.
Mepore self-adhesive dressings feature a soft, absorbent wound pad with a breathable adhesive surround. They are designed for post-operative wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, and skin tears with low to moderate exudate. Mepore Pro adds a showerproof, bacterial, and viral barrier — allowing patients to shower without removing the dressing. Mepore Film is a transparent, waterproof dressing used as a secondary dressing or for securing IV lines and medical devices. Mepore Film & Pad combines the waterproof film backing with an integrated absorbent pad for wounds that need both waterproof protection and fluid management.
Frequently Asked Questions ▾
Is Mepore waterproof?
Standard Mepore (self-adhesive) is not waterproof — it is breathable but should be kept dry. Mepore Pro is showerproof, meaning it can withstand showering but is not designed for submersion. Mepore Film and Mepore Film & Pad are fully waterproof and bacteria-proof, providing a sealed barrier against water and contaminants.
What is the difference between Mepore, Mepore Pro, Mepore Film, and Film & Pad?
Mepore Self-Adhesive is an absorbent island dressing for low to moderate exudate. Mepore Pro adds a showerproof backing with bacterial and viral barrier protection. Mepore Film is a transparent, waterproof secondary dressing used for securing other dressings or devices. Mepore Film & Pad combines the waterproof film backing with a built-in absorbent pad, offering both waterproof protection and wound fluid absorption.
What size Mepore dressing should I choose?
Choose a dressing where the absorbent pad extends at least 2 cm beyond the wound edges on all sides. For example, a 3 cm wound would suit a 6×7 cm dressing, while a larger incision may require a 9×15 cm or 9×25 cm size. If unsure, select the next size up to ensure adequate coverage and adhesive contact with healthy skin.
Can I shower with Mepore Pro?
Yes, Mepore Pro is designed to be showerproof. The dressing can be worn during showering without needing to be removed or covered. However, it is not designed for prolonged submersion such as bathing or swimming. For fully waterproof protection during water exposure, use Mepore Film or Mepore Film & Pad.
