In this week’s #WoundStories video, Corinne shares how Mepilex Border Post-Op helped her recover from a mastectomy for advanced breast cancer. Corrine had researched wound care for over 30 years and was fearful of gauze. She knew gauze could lead to higher infection rates, longer time to heal and pain. With Mepilex Border Post-Op, her incisions healed amazingly well. She was reassured knowing the dressings helped maintain the right moisture level and prevented bacteria from getting in. Thank you Corrine for sharing your experience with us.💚 Learn more about our advanced wound care dressings here: https://www.molnlycke.ca/products-solutions/mepilex-border-post-op/ #PatientStories #PostOp #WoundCare #IncisionCare

Today, November 21, is STOP Pressure Injury Day. Did you know that 8% to 26% of patients in Canada’s acute care settings experience #pressureinjuries? Even more concerning, these cases are often underreported. Patients can suffer constant pain, prolonged hospital stays, even infection-related deaths At Mölnlycke we have pioneered the fight against pressure injuries for over 15 years. We believe one life lost is too many. 💚 ↗️ Share this post to raise awareness for #StopPressureInjuryDay Learn more at: https://www.molnlycke.ca/education/wound-areas/pressure-ulcers/ Source: Canadian Institute for Health Information.

Every year, we lose millions of patients globally from #pressureinjuries. One life lost is too many. The impact is financial too. In Canada, one month of care in the community for a pressure injury costs CAD $9,000. But there is hope. By focusing on preventative care, we can reduce suffering, save lives, and ease the financial strain on our healthcare system. Join the forefront of prevention.
