Mepilex Up Soft Silicone Foam Dressing

Mepilex Up is a new kind of non-bordered foam dressing, designed 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. Benefits: • Intuitively designed to counteract the challenges of leakage • Unique capability to spread fluids in all directions even against gravity • Supporting a higher fluid handling capacity than other foam dressings • Effectively manage high volumes of fluid for a long period of time • Ability to handle viscous fluids • Can be used on a wide range of wounds and locations
