Mepilex^® Up is a new kind of non-bordered foam dressing, designed minimise the risk of leakage. It 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.

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 minimising associated pain on removal. Safetac seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk of maceration.

• 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
