Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing, 4 x 10 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive Foam Dressing, 4 x 10 Inch

The Mepilex Border Post-Op is an all-in-one adhesive foam dressing designed to protect and manage surgical incisions and post-operative wounds. Built with a soft, absorbent foam pad and a self-adhering border, it's an excellent choice for anyone recovering from surgery who needs reliable coverage over challenging areas of the body. Its highly flexible design makes it especially well suited for use over joints such as hips and knees, where movement and conformability matter most.

At the heart of this dressing is a Safetac silicone wound contact layer that gently adheres to the skin around the wound without sticking to the wound bed itself. This means less pain on removal and reduced trauma to healing tissue and the surrounding peri-wound skin. A spreading layer made from nonwoven viscose and polyester helps distribute and absorb exudate across the pad, while the transparent border lets you inspect the peri-wound skin without removing the dressing, supporting fewer disruptions to the healing process.

This dressing is available in multiple pack options, including a single dressing, a box of 5, and a case of 30, so you can choose the quantity that fits your recovery or clinical needs. The wound contact layer is perforated silicone with a Safetac-coated polyurethane film. Post-operative wound care supplies like this are often FSA/HSA eligible, making it easy to use qualified funds.
