Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing, 4 x 8 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op Adhesive Foam Dressing, 4 x 8 Inch

The Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op is an all-in-one, self-adhesive foam dressing designed to protect and manage surgical incisions and other closed or lightly-to-moderately exuding wounds. Featuring Safetac technology and a soft, absorbent foam pad with a secure adhesive border, it's an excellent choice for anyone recovering from surgery who needs reliable, comfortable wound coverage—especially over challenging areas like the hips and knees.

This dressing works through a layered construction that gently absorbs excess fluid while maintaining a moist wound-healing environment. The perforated silicone wound contact layer and Safetac-coated polyurethane film adhere gently to the surrounding skin—not the wound bed—so dressing changes are less painful and less likely to disturb healing tissue. Its highly flexible design conforms to the body and moves with you, helping the dressing stay in place during everyday activity and around joints. A nonwoven viscose and polyester spreading layer helps distribute fluid evenly for effective exudate management.

A standout feature is the transparent border, which lets you and your caregiver inspect the peri-wound skin without removing the dressing—minimizing disruption to the healing site. This item measures 4 x 8 inches and is available in multiple purchase options, from a single dressing to a Box of 5 or a Case of 25. Many advanced wound care supplies are FSA/HSA eligible.
