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.

• Helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections  ^{1  2  3  4  5  6  7}
