Mölnlycke Mepilex Broder Post-Op Ag

Specifically designed for incisions, Mepilex Broder Post-Op Ag helps medical personnel balance the many demands of incision management and deliver the best possible care. Mepilex® Border Post-Op Ag is a showerproof antimicrobial post-operative dressing that effectively absorbs and retains drainage[1,2,3]. The Safetac interface minimizes pain and peri-wound skin damage at dressing removal [4,5,6]. The dressing seals the wound edges, preventing drainage from leaking onto the surrounding skin, minimizing risk of maceration[6]. The flex-cut pad gives high flexibility and good conformability over joints, such as knees or hips, promoting patient mobilization[4]. The dressing inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to seven days[7,8,9].
