How Mepilex Border Post-Op Works

Mepilex Border Post-Op is an all-in-one post-op dressing that effectively absorbs and retains surgical exudate. The patented Safetac layer minimizes the incidence of blisters and ensures it can be changed without causing damage to the wound or surrounding skin. The Safetac layer seals the peri-wound edges to prevent the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, minimizing the risk of maceration. The flex technology provides high flexibility and comfortability over joints like hips and knees, promoting patient mobilization.
