ABSORBENT FOAM DRESSING
Mepilex Up
Designed to minimise the risk of leakage
Mepilex® Up is a new kind of non-bordered foam dressing, designed minimise the risk of leakage. Its proprietary dimpled surface pattern enables the dressing to spread fluids in all directions, even against gravity
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
- 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

1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Select an appropriate dressing size. The dressing should cover the dry surrounding skin by at least 1-2cm for smaller sizes (sizes up to 12.5x12.5cm) and 3-5cm for larger sizes. If required, the dressing may be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations. Remove the first release film.
2. Apply the adherent side to the wound. Remove the remaining release film and smooth down the dressing on the skin. Do not stretch the dressing.
3. When necessary, fixate Mepilex Up with a bandage or other fixation.
