Description
Mepilex Border Post-Op 9cm x 10cm Dressing 10 Pack
All-in-one post-op dressing with extra flexibility for patient mobility
Mepilex® Border Post-Op dressing is extra-conformable and easy to use for surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions. It's self-adherent, thanks to Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. It's designed to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound 1 2. So you can remove it easily without damaging the skin 1 2 3 .
The absorbent pad has Flex technology for extra flexibility – so you can rely on it for treating joints such as hips and knees 1 2 3 4 – to support early patient mobility 1 2 3 4 . The design is highly absorbent 1 2 3 , to reduce dressing change frequency 2 4 .
Your team can include Mepilex Border Post-Op dressings in your customised Mölnlycke Procedure Trays – for even more efficiency gains.
