Mepore Film & Pad is ideal for wounds that need both absorption and visibility — particularly post-surgical incisions, drain sites, and wounds where monitoring healing progress without disturbing the dressing is important. The showerproof film allows patients to bathe without removing the dressing.
Available sizes: 4 x 5cm (85/box), 5 x 7cm (85/box), 5 x 7cm oval (85/box), 9 x 10cm (30/box), 9 x 15cm (30/box), 9 x 20cm (30/box), 9 x 25cm (30/box), 9 x 30cm (25/box), and 9 x 35cm (25/box). The oval shape is designed for curved body areas where a rectangular dressing would lift at the corners.
If you need a transparent dressing without an absorbent pad, see Mepore Film Dressings. For a showerproof absorbent dressing with a bacterial and viral barrier (non-transparent), see Mepore Pro Dressings. For a standard absorbent dressing at a lower price point, see Mepore Dressings.

Mepore Film & Pad FAQ ▾
Is Mepore Film & Pad showerproof?
Yes. Mepore Film & Pad has a transparent showerproof film backing that allows patients to shower with the dressing in place. The film is impermeable to fluids from the outside while allowing moisture vapour to escape from the wound side.
What is the difference between Mepore Film & Pad and Mepore Pro?
Both are showerproof and absorbent. The key differences: Mepore Film & Pad has a transparent backing so you can see the wound without removing the dressing. Mepore Pro has a non-transparent backing but provides a bacterial and viral barrier with a soft elastic backing that has low friction against clothing. Choose Film & Pad when wound visibility matters; choose Pro when barrier protection is the priority.
What is the oval Mepore Film & Pad for?
The 5 x 7cm oval shape is designed for curved body areas such as shoulders, elbows, and heels where a rectangular dressing tends to lift at the corners. The oval shape conforms better to contours and stays in place longer.
What sizes does Mepore Film & Pad come in?
Mepore Film & Pad is available in 9 sizes: 4 x 5cm, 5 x 7cm, 5 x 7cm oval, 9 x 10cm, 9 x 15cm, 9 x 20cm, 9 x 25cm, 9 x 30cm, and 9 x 35cm. Box quantities range from 25 to 85 depending on size.
