Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag 10x20cm Antimicrobial Dressing - Box of 5

Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag 10x20cm is an advanced, sterile, all-in-one antimicrobial post-operative dressing designed for managing surgical wounds, cuts, and abrasions with exudate. Engineered by Molnlycke, this dressing combines the proven antimicrobial benefits of silver with the gentle adhesion of Safetac technology.

As seen on and , this highly conformable and flexible dressing offers a waterproof and bacteria-proof film backing, providing a protective barrier against external contamination. Its high absorbency capacity effectively manages wound exudate, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and promoting a moist wound healing environment.

Benefits of Use:

• Reduces the risk of infection by containing silver, which provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity.
• Features Safetac technology, ensuring gentle adherence to the skin without sticking to the moist wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma upon removal.
• Highly absorbent foam pad efficiently manages exudate, maintaining an optimal moist wound healing environment.
• Waterproof film backing protects the wound from external contaminants, allows for showering, and helps prevent bacterial penetration.
• Flexible and conformable design allows for easy application on various body contours, ensuring comfort and secure fit.
• Reduces the need for secondary fixation, simplifying wound care routines.
• Suitable for post-operative wounds, cuts, and abrasions with low to moderate exudate.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse the wound area gently with saline solution or as directed by a healthcare professional. Ensure the surrounding skin is dry.
2. Choose a dressing size that covers the wound and extends at least 2 cm onto the surrounding healthy skin.
3. Remove the release liners from the adhesive side of the dressing.
4. Apply the adhesive side to the skin, ensuring the dressing is centered over the wound.
5. Smooth down the edges of the dressing to ensure secure adhesion. Do not stretch the dressing during application.
6. Change the dressing when clinically indicated or as directed by a healthcare professional, typically every 3-7 days depending on exudate levels and wound condition.

Caution & Warnings:

• Do not use on patients with a known hypersensitivity to silver or any other component of the dressing.
• Not indicated for full-thickness burns.
• Should not be used in conjunction with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide solutions or hypochlorite solutions, as they may impair the silver component.
• Consult a healthcare professional for specific usage instructions, especially for infected wounds or wounds with heavy exudate.
• For single-use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Discontinue use if signs of irritation, maceration, or sensitivity appear.

Ingredients:

The dressing consists of a soft-silicone wound contact layer (Safetac technology), a flexible absorbent foam pad, a super-absorbent non-woven layer, a silver sulfate (Ag) containing layer, and a breathable, waterproof, bacteria- and virus-proof film backing.
