2. 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.

3. 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.

How Mepilex Border Post-Op works?

Mepilex Border Post-Op is an all-in-one post-op dressing that very effectively absorbs and retains surgical exudates. The Safetac interface minimise painful wound and peri-wound skin damage at dressing removal.The Safetac interface seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto surrounding skin, this minimising the risk for maceration. The flex-cut pad gives high flexibility and a very good conformability over joints, such as hips and knees, promoting patient mobilisation.
