Mepilex Border Post Op

Mepilex Border Post Op Dressing

Mepilex Border Post-Op offers numerous benefits for post-operative wound care, enhancing both patient comfort and healing outcomes. Its advanced five-layer construction ensures superior absorption and retention of exudate, effectively reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a moist wound environment crucial for healing. The inclusion of Safetac® technology provides gentle adherence to the skin, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive or fragile skin. Additionally, the dressing’s high absorption capacity allows for extended wear time, making it a cost-effective option for both patients and healthcare providers. The transparent border of Mepilex Border Post-Op facilitates easy monitoring of the wound without needing to remove the dressing, ensuring continuous protection. Overall, this dressing is designed to improve post-operative wound management through its combination of comfort, efficacy, and ease of use.

Benefits of Mepilex Border Post Op:

• Remove the dressing from its packaging carefully.
• Hold the dressing by the edge to avoid touching the adhesive side.
• Remove the center part of the release film and place the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Ensure it is centered.

Adhering to the Dressing:

• Smooth the dressing down gently over the wound.
• Remove the remaining release films one side at a time, pressing the adhesive border onto the skin to secure the dressing.
• Ensure there are no wrinkles or air pockets.

Monitoring and Replacement:

• Inspect the dressing regularly to ensure it remains in place and is managing the exudate effectively.
• Replace the dressing as instructed by your healthcare provider, typically when it becomes saturated or if there is a risk of infection.
