The Mepilex Border Post-Op Ag Dressing is made up of multiple layers, including a highly absorbent foam pad, a Safetac interface, and an antimicrobial silver (Ag) layer. The absorbent foam pad effectively manages exudate, lowering the risk of maceration and keeping the wound environment moist but under control, which is critical for effective healing. The Safetac interface layer reduces pain and trauma during dressing changes by gently adhering to the skin without sticking to the wound bed, resulting in a more comfortable experience for the patient. The addition of an antimicrobial silver layer distinguishes this dressing by providing a sustained release of silver ions, which helps reduce the risk of infection. This antimicrobial action is especially useful in postoperative settings, where infection can have a significant impact on recovery times and patient outcomes. Silver ions continuously inhibit the growth of a wide range of pathogens, providing an additional layer of protection against wound infection.

Features

• Sterile.
• All-in-one foam dressing for acute and chronic wounds where antimicrobial action is indicated.
• It's self-adherent, thanks to Safetac – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion.
• Designed to mold softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound, so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin.
