Molnlycke Mepilex Border Post-Op

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

Mepilex® Border Post-Op is designed for exudating wounds. It is intended for acute wounds, such as surgical wounds, cuts and abrasions. It is optimized for post-op use and blood absorption. The flex technology provides high flexibility and makes it ideal for use over joints such as hips and knees. Each dressing size is optimized for its purpose including absorbency, flexibility and stay-on-ability. Sizes 20 cm and larger have an absorbent pad for highly exudating wounds while the smaller sizes have an absorbent pad for moderate to highly exudating wounds.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Gently clease the wound; dry surrounding skin. Open the sterile package and remove the dressing. For best results, Mepilex® Border Post-Op must overlap the wound by 1-2 cm.

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.
