Mepilex Border Post-Op 10x15cm: Advanced Wound Care for Post-Operative Recovery

Mepilex Border Post-Op 10x15cm is an advanced, all-in-one sterile dressing meticulously designed for the optimal care of post-operative wounds, cuts, and abrasions. This innovative dressing combines a highly absorbent pad with a soft silicone wound contact layer, ensuring a moist healing environment while minimizing trauma to the delicate wound area.

Developed with Molnlycke's proprietary Safetac technology, Mepilex Border Post-Op adheres gently to the surrounding skin without sticking to the moist wound bed. This unique feature facilitates comfortable and virtually pain-free removal, reducing the risk of skin stripping or damage to newly formed tissue. Its waterproof outer layer provides a robust barrier against external contaminants such as bacteria and viruses, allowing patients to shower with confidence and promoting an undisturbed healing process.

The dressing's flexibility and conformability make it suitable for various wound locations, ensuring secure application and patient comfort. Regularly trusted by healthcare professionals and recommended for home use, Mepilex Border Post-Op supports faster recovery and excellent cosmetic results.

Benefits of Use:

• Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes thanks to Safetac technology.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse the wound area gently with a sterile saline solution or wound cleanser and pat dry the surrounding skin.
2. Select a dressing size that covers the wound and extends at least 1-2 cm onto the surrounding healthy skin.
3. Remove the release liners from the adhesive side of the dressing.
4. Apply the adhesive side of Mepilex Border Post-Op directly over the wound, ensuring full contact without stretching.
5. Smooth down the edges of the dressing to ensure secure adhesion to the skin.
6. Change the dressing as clinically indicated or when the absorbent pad is saturated, typically every few days.

Caution & Warnings:

• Do not use on patients with a known hypersensitivity to the dressing or its components.
• Do not stretch the dressing when applying as this may cause skin tension and damage.
• Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry before application for optimal adhesion.
• If signs of infection (e.g., redness, warmth, increased pain, pus) occur, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• For single-use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
