How Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag works

Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag is an all-in-one post-op dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate. The Safetac interface minimizes painful wound and peri-wound skin damage at dressing removal.1,2,9 The Safetac interface seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto surrounding skin, minimizing risk of maceration.9 The flex-cut pad gives high flexibility and good conformability over joints, such as knees or hips, promoting patient mobilization.1 Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days.3-5 By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag may also reduce odor.
