Mölnlycke® Mepilex® Border Post-Op Ag Dressing

Mepilex® Border Post-Op Ag antimicrobial post-operative dressing is conformable and easy to use. It's designed for acute surgical wounds that can benefit from an antimicrobial action. The impregnated silver sulphate particles create an antimicrobial action that helps to reduce bioburden after 30 minutes, killing 99.9% of a wide range of bacteria for up to seven days.

This all-in-one bordered foam silver dressing design includes Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So dressing changes are less painful for your patients.

Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag absorbs more than other brand post-op dressings, without leaking, which minimises the risk of maceration and limits how often you need to change the dressing.

• Helps reduce surgical site infections
• Support patient mobility
• Reduce dressing related costs
• Provides a broad and sustained antimicrobial effect
• Less painful dressing changes

When to use Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag
You can use Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag for exuding acute wounds such as surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions, and when an antimicrobial action is needed for infected wounds.
Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag is designed specifically for post-op use for surgical wounds and blood absorption. Flex technology helps it stay on for mobile patients – so you can use it for surgical wounds on joints such as hips and knees.

Frequency of change
Our Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag dressing can be left in place for up to seven days – depending on the wound condition and the surrounding skin – or as indicated by accepted clinical practice.
