Yes, Mepore dressings are water-resistant, allowing patients to shower or bathe without worrying about the dressing falling off. However, excessive water exposure can reduce adhesive quality. To protect the dressing during showering or bathing, use a waterproof covering like tape or plastic wrap. Follow healthcare provider instructions for proper care and maintenance.

The frequency of changing a Mepore dressing depends on the wound type, severity, and exudate level. Generally, dressings should be changed at least once a day or more frequently if soiled or saturated. For heavily exuding wounds, changes may be needed several times a day. Follow healthcare provider instructions for appropriate dressing change frequency and technique to support healing and prevent infection.
