Molnlycke Mesalt Sodium Chloride Impregnated Dressing — 20% NaCl, Heavily Exuding & Infected Wounds, 3 Formats

Salt pulls. Mesalt cleans. Mesalt by Molnlycke is a sterile, non-woven viscose/polyester dressing impregnated with 20% sodium chloride that uses osmotic action to actively draw exudate, bacteria, and necrotic material out of the wound bed and into the dressing. Where standard dressings passively absorb whatever fluid reaches them, Mesalt's hypertonic sodium chloride creates an osmotic gradient — a concentration difference between the dressing and the wound environment — that attracts fluid, bacterial load, and debris toward the dressing and away from the wound. This makes Mesalt particularly effective during the inflammatory phase of healing, when wound bioburden is high and the wound needs active cleansing to progress. Applied dry directly to the wound bed in a single piece. Available in three formats: 4x4 inch square (285580), 6x6 inch square (286099), and 3/4 x 39 inch ribbon for cavity and tunneling wounds (285280).

✔ 20% Sodium Chloride — Hypertonic Osmotic Action Draws Out Exudate & Bacteria    ✔ Absorbs Exudate, Bacteria & Necrotic Material — Active Wound Cleansing    ✔ Applied Dry in One Piece — Simple Application    ✔ Ribbon Format Available — Cavity, Tunneling & Deep Wounds    ✔ Sterile — Individually Packaged    ✔ Hypergranulation Management

Indicated For — Wound Types & Applications

  • Heavily exuding wounds in the inflammatory phase — primary indication
  • Infected wounds requiring active bacterial reduction and cleansing
  • Moderately to heavily draining chronic wounds — pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers
  • Surgical wounds with high exudate or bacterial burden
  • Cavity wounds, tunneling wounds, and fistulas — ribbon format (285280)
  • Deep pressure ulcers requiring packing
  • Hypergranulation tissue — sodium chloride reduces excessive granulation
  • Moist necrosis requiring debridement support
  • Sloughy wounds with significant bacterial load

Do not use Mesalt on: Dry wounds or wounds with little to no drainage — the osmotic mechanism requires wound moisture to function and can desiccate a dry wound. Avoid direct contact with exposed bone or tendon. Do not use on patients with known hypersensitivity to product materials. Do not reuse.


How Mesalt Works — Hypertonic Osmotic Cleansing

Standard absorbent dressings work by capillary action — they passively pull fluid into the dressing matrix as it contacts the dressing surface. Mesalt works differently. The 20% sodium chloride impregnated into the dressing creates a hypertonic environment — a salt concentration significantly higher than the fluid in the wound bed. Osmosis drives fluid from areas of lower solute concentration toward higher solute concentration, so wound exudate, bacteria, and cellular debris are actively drawn into the dressing rather than simply absorbed passively.

  • Osmotic exudate draw — the high NaCl concentration in the dressing pulls wound fluid, dissolved proteins, and bacterial components toward and into the dressing, reducing bioburden in the wound bed
  • Bacterial absorption — bacteria suspended in wound exudate are drawn into the dressing along with the fluid and trapped there — reducing the bacterial load in the wound environment
  • Necrotic material removal — necrotic debris and slough are drawn toward the dressing and absorbed, facilitating autolytic debridement of the wound bed
  • Hypergranulation reduction — the hypertonic sodium chloride environment reduces excessive granulation tissue by drawing moisture out of the hypergranulating cells, helping the wound return to a normal healing trajectory
  • Applied dry — Mesalt is applied directly to the wound surface without pre-moistening; the wound's own exudate activates the osmotic mechanism on contact
  • Single piece application and removal — the dressing is applied and removed in one piece, simplifying the dressing change process and reducing the risk of leaving fiber residue in the wound bed

Choosing the Right Format

  • 285580 (4x4" Square) — Standard size for flat, moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Covers most pressure ulcer, venous ulcer, and surgical wound footprints. Delivered folded to 2x2 inch — unfold to 4x4 for placement. Box of 30.
  • 286099 (6x6" Square) — Larger format for wounds requiring extended coverage. Delivered folded to 3x3 inch — unfold to 6x6 for placement. Box of 30. This is the SKU on the Vitality Medical listing.
  • 285280 (3/4" x 39" Ribbon) — For cavity wounds, tunneling wounds, fistulas, and deep pressure ulcers where a flat dressing cannot reach the wound bed. The ribbon is loosely packed into the wound cavity — do not pack tightly. Box of 10.

Application Instructions

  1. Cleanse the wound with sterile saline and remove any loose debris
  2. For flat wounds (285580, 286099): unfold the dressing and apply dry directly to the wound bed, ensuring full wound surface coverage
  3. For cavity wounds (285280 ribbon): loosely pack the ribbon into the wound cavity — do not pack tightly, as swelling occurs as the dressing absorbs exudate
  4. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing — Mepilex Border or equivalent to keep Mesalt in place
  5. Where clinically indicated, compression therapy may be applied over Mesalt for venous wounds
  6. Change when the dressing is saturated — at least once daily, more frequently if exudate volume is high
  7. To remove: moisten the dressing with sterile saline if adherent before removing — remove in one piece; irrigate wound bed to clear any residual sodium chloride

So Comfy!
So soft, so comfy! I have never had a wrist rest before, but since upgrading to my first custom keyboard, which is higher off of the desk than my previous one, I wanted some comfort and support. This wrist rest is perfect, but keeping in mind it is meant for ten keyless keyboards, and my keyboard is also made by Glorious, it is perfect size and height. For a slimmer lower profile keyboard it might be a bit tall. I would make sure that your keyboard thickness will accommodate how thick this thing is. It is nice and firm, and should hold up for a long time :)

Great for the Logitech G915 and G915X
Color: Stealth, Size: Full Size
Pretty much the perfect size and height for comfortable, ergonomically-correct typing on the low-height gaming keyboards like the G915 and G915X from Logitech. Got one of these for work and loved it enough to get one for home as well.

so I felt like it was time to invest in a wrist pad
Color: Black, Size: Full Size
Im an Editor and spend most of my days typing in front of a computer. I've never really used a wrist pad before, but my wrists were laying on the edge of my desk, which after a while, began to hurt my wrists, so I felt like it was time to invest in a wrist pad. I looked at plenty of them here on Amazon and this one from Glorious had some great reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try. Even though I'm not a "gammer," this rest is beyond awesome! It's perfect for typing all day, and even though some reviews noted that it was too "high" - it's really not and works great on a keyboard with a kickstand under it, or even when I'm not using my wireless keyboard, it still works great typing on my MacBook Air (2015 Edition). It has a sticky underside that keeps it in place, but it's also not too sticky, so you can move it around with ease. I will admit, it is a little firm, so if you're looking for a wrist pad that's "gel-like" for your wrists to sink into - this is not for you. It's firm and holds your wrists up above the keyboard so that you're typing downward, rather than having your wrist slanted up at a 45 degree angle, which is terrible for you. I've only had the wrist pad for 2 days, but I can't tell you how much pain it's relieved from my wrists sitting on the edge of my desk. The full length one fits perfectly with my keyboard with the numbers extended on the right side, and should I decide to only use my laptop's keyboard, the pad works great for that as well. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a solid, firm pad to rest your wrists on while typing.

My wrists feel like they are way too high to type comfortably
For the Price and function of this product to me it gets 3 stars. To problem is however for me, the height of the pad is a bit ridiculous. My wrists feel like they are way too high to type comfortably. I am using an HHKB pro2 and using this wrist rest, my wrists are suspended extremely high up compared to my keyboard. It just does not feel right. But at the very least this wristrest prevents me from digging my wrist into the edge of my desk which is all I wanted it to do really in the first place. But with my wrists this high up, it just seems extremely awkward to type normally. Maybe hopefully the wristrest will flatten over time. It has to be mentioned as well that my unit is not perfectly flat. If I put pressure on either the right or left side of the wrist rest, the opposite side of which I pressed will result in being raised upwards. This is not a huge problem, I am just nitpicking here. Lastly, the gaudy branding is a turn off for me. This is extremely subjective but if it came just purely with no logo or a much smaller one I would have been happier. I dont really need everyone who walks by my computer setup to read "Glorious PC gaming race." I just do not fit that age demographic anymore. If this wrist rest was a few CM lower in height, and the branding was gone. I wouldve easily gave it 6/5 stars. The build quality seems very good and sturdy.

Beautiful and comfortable wrist rest
Color: Walnut Wood, Size: Large
This walnut wrist rest is fantastic. It’s a solid, well-crafted piece of wood with a great natural feel. The edges are nicely filed and smooth to the touch, and the wood grain looks beautiful in person. You can really feel the texture of the wood when typing, but it’s never rough or uncomfortable—just a nice tactile reminder of the quality material. The color and finish are great, not glossy or sticky, and it stays cool and comfortable even during long sessions. It fits perfectly with my full-size keyboard and adds both comfort and a great aesthetic to my desk setup. If you’re looking for a wrist rest that’s both functional and classy, this is absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend.
