Mepilex Border Post-Op (6cm x 8cm)

Description:

• Mepilex Border Post-Op is a self-adherent dressing used for post-surgical wound care. It effectively absorbs blood and exudates, helping to maintain a clean and moist healing environment. 
• Its absorbent layers reduce the risk of maceration, which can occur when the skin around the wound becomes too moist. This feature helps promote faster healing while protecting the surrounding skin.
• The dressing is equipped with a waterproof outer film that acts as a barrier against dirt and bacteria, ensuring that the wound remains protected from external contamination. 
• Mepilex Border Post-Op is its Safetac wound contact layer, a unique silicone adhesive technology. This layer ensures gentle adhesion, minimizing pain and discomfort during dressing changes and reducing trauma to both the wound and the surrounding skin.
• It is ideal for post-operative use, and is a reliable choice for patients and healthcare professionals looking for a dressing that combines comfort, protection, and advanced healing support.

How To Use Border Post Op:

• Cleanse the wound and the surrounding skin in accordance with clinical practice.
• Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
• The Mepilex Border Post-Op wound pad should overlap the wound by at least 1-2 cm in order to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and fixate the dressing securely.
• For dressings with one release film, remove the release film partly or completely. For dressings with two release films, remove the small release film partly or completely and then remove the larger release film, partly or completely.
• Apply the adherent side to the wound, allowing initial fixation of the dressing. If applicable, gently remove the remainder of the release film(s) while smoothing the dressing with the other hand to avoid wrinkles. Do not stretch the dressing during application.
• Grip the application frame and tear the perforation apart.
• Gently remove the application frame. Avoid wrinkles while fixating the edges by smoothing the dressing with the other hand.
