• Can rely on it for treating joints such as hips and knees
• Transparent border allows easy inspection

When To Use:

You can use Mepilex Border Post-Op for exuding acute wounds such as surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions. The design is specifically suited to post-op use for surgical wounds and blood absorption. 

Mepilex sized each dressing based on the absorbency you will need, plus flexibility and stay-on-ability. Sizes 20 cm and larger have an absorbent pad made for highly-exuding wounds. The smaller sizes have an absorbent pad for moderate- to highly-exuding wounds. All Mepilex Border Post-Op have the same, highly-absorbent pad.

Directions:

Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. Open the sterile package and remove the dressing. For best results, Mepilex Border Post-Op must overlap the wound by 1-2 cm.

Peel off the narrow part of the release film and fixate Mepilex Border Post-Op to the skin. Do not stretch. Remove the narrow release film completely and then the wider release film.

Fixate the dressing securely in place. Mepilex Border Post-Op can be left in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice.
