Decreasing Intraoperative Skin Damage in Prone Position Surgeries

A new dressing technology (Mepilex Border Flex® (MBF)) provides increased conformability of the dressing to the skin with the ability of the dressing to move in all directions (e.g., 360-degree flexibility) with even slight body movements. Limited data exists on use of silicone foam dressings with all direction flexibility during prone surgical procedures.
