Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing, 4 x 12 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive Foam Dressing, 4 x 12 Inch

The Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op is an all-in-one adhesive foam dressing designed to protect and manage surgical wounds and other post-operative incisions. Ideal for patients recovering from surgery, it combines an absorbent foam pad with a gentle self-adhering border, making it a smart choice for caregivers and clinicians who need dependable, comfortable wound coverage. Its highly flexible design makes it an excellent option for use over joints such as hips and knees, where movement and conformability matter most.

This dressing works through a multi-layer construction that absorbs exudate while keeping the wound bed protected. The wound contact layer features perforated silicone and a Safetac-coated polyurethane film, which allows the dressing to be applied and removed gently without disturbing the healing tissue or causing skin trauma. A spreading layer made from nonwoven viscose and polyester helps distribute fluid evenly for effective moisture management, while the transparent border allows inspection of the peri-wound skin without removing the dressing. Day to day, this means fewer disruptive dressing changes, less discomfort, and a cleaner, more comfortable recovery.

The Mepilex Border Post-Op is available in multiple purchase options, including a Single dressing, a Box of 5, and a Case of 25, so you can order the quantity that fits your recovery or clinical needs. This particular dressing measures 4 x 12 inches, offering ample coverage for longer incisions. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible, so be sure to check your plan.
