The Mepilex Border Post-Op 10 x 15 cm (Ref: 496300) is a premium, all-in-one surgical dressing designed specifically for acute wounds such as surgical incisions, cuts, and abrasions. Trusted by healthcare professionals across India, this dressing features the patented Safetac® technology, which uses a soft silicone adhesive to ensure that dressing changes are virtually painless. Its unique construction is optimized for the recovery phase, allowing patients to move comfortably while ensuring the wound remains protected from external contaminants.

This high-performance dressing is engineered with Flex Technology, providing 360-degree flexibility that conforms to the body’s natural contours. This makes it an ideal choice for wounds located on highly mobile areas like joints (knees or elbows). The dressing effectively absorbs surgical discharge (exudate) while maintaining a moist healing environment, which is essential for faster recovery and reduced risk of post-operative complications like skin blistering or maceration.

Painless Removal: Safetac® technology prevents the dressing from sticking to the moist wound, minimizing pain and skin stripping during changes.
Enhanced Mobility: Flex Technology allows the dressing to stretch in all directions, supporting early patient movement.
Reduced Infection Risk: Acts as a viral and bacterial barrier (microbes >25nm) while remaining breathable.
Shower-Proof: The water-resistant outer film allows patients to shower without needing to change the dressing.
Long Wear Time: Can be left in place for several days, leading to fewer dressing changes and lower overall treatment costs.
Skin Inspection: Features a transparent border for easy monitoring of the surrounding skin area.

Preparation: Clean the wound area as per standard medical advice. Ensure the surrounding skin is completely dry to allow for proper adhesion.
Application: Open the sterile pack and remove the dressing. Pull the release film (marked with a tab) to expose the adhesive side.
Placement: Apply the dressing directly over the wound without stretching it. Gently stroke the borders to ensure a secure, airtight seal.
Frame Removal: Once the dressing is in place, remove the outer plastic application frames one by one.
Monitoring: Check the dressing regularly. It can remain in place for up to 7–14 days unless it becomes saturated or a change is recommended by your doctor.

Allergy Warning: Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity to silicone or other components of the dressing.
Infection Watch: If you notice signs of clinical infection (fever, increased redness, swelling, or unusual odor), consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Single Use Only: This is a sterile, single-use product. Do not reuse or re-sterilize as it may lead to cross-contamination.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place (below 35°C) and keep away from direct sunlight.
Professional Advice: Always follow the specific wound care instructions provided by your surgeon or nurse.
