Mepilex Up is a new kind of non-bordered foam dressing designed to minimize the risk of leakage. Its proprietary dimpled surface pattern enables the dressing to spread fluids in all directions, even against gravity. These unique spreading properties can contribute to long wear time and fewer dressing changes.
Safetac adheres gently to intact skin but not the wound itself, thereby preventing damage to the peri-wound skin (e.g. skin stripping) and the wound bed, as well as minimizing associated pain on removal. Safetac seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.
Mepilex Up is intended for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds in all healing stages such as venous leg ulcers (VLU) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The dressing change interval may be several days depending on the wound. Mepilex Up can be used under compression bandages and in combination with gels.
