All-in-one, soft and comfortable post-op dressing that promotes uninterrupted healing
Mepilex® Border Post-Op is a highly absorbent, flexible and conformable dressing for surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions. It offers up to 14 days wear time and is now even easier to apply. Our proven Safetac® technology means the adhesive moulds to the skin without sticking to the moist wound, thus protecting the skin and wound from damage.
The long wear time of Mepilex Border Post-Op is in line with surgeons’ consensus on dressing change protocol; to leave the dressing in place as long as possible to optimise healing, minimise contamination, reduce medical waste and save time.
The dressing has an application frame, making it easier to apply and reposition, particularly when working on tricky areas such as knees and elbows.
You can leave Mepilex Surgical in place for up to seven days, depending on the condition of your patient’s wound and the surrounding skin; or as indicated by your organisational procedures or accepted clinical practice.
