Mepilex® Border Post-Op Ag antimicrobial post-operative dressing is conformable and easy to use. It's designed for acute surgical wounds that can benefit from an antimicrobial action. The impregnated silver sulphate particles create an antimicrobial action that helps that has been shown through in vitro testing to reduce bioburden after 30 minutes, killing 99.9% of a wide range of bacteria for up to seven days 1 2 3.
This all-in-one bordered foam silver dressing design includes Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So dressing changes are less painful 4 5 6 7 for your patients.
Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag absorbs more than other brand of post-op dressings, without leaking 8 9 10, which minimizes the risk of maceration and limits how often you need to change the dressing.
