Mepilex® Up is an advanced non-bordered foam dressing engineered to minimize leakage and optimize exudate management across all stages of wound healing. Featuring an innovative dimpled foam structure, it enhances capillary action to distribute fluid evenly in all directions—even against gravity—helping reduce pooling, maceration, and the need for frequent dressing changes.

Designed with a thinner, highly conformable profile, Mepilex® Up offers ease of application while maintaining the ability to manage both low and highly exuding wounds. Safetac® soft silicone technology ensures gentle adhesion, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

Key Features:

• Innovative dimpled foam structure for superior fluid distribution
• Minimizes risk of leakage by spreading exudate evenly
• Manages low to highly exuding wounds effectively
• Thin, flexible design for improved conformability
• High breathability with improved moisture vapor transmission
• Enhanced fluid retention for reduced dressing changes
• Safetac® technology reduces pain and skin damage on removal
• Can remain in place for several days, depending on clinical conditions

Specifications:

• Size: 10 cm x 10 cm
• Type: Non-bordered foam dressing
• Technology: Safetac® soft silicone
• Sterility: Sterile
• Packaging: Box of 5 dressings

Applications:

• Chronic wounds: leg ulcers, foot ulcers, pressure ulcers
• Traumatic wounds: skin tears, lacerations, secondary healing wounds
• Suitable for use under compression therapy
• Can be used in combination with wound care gels

How It Works:

The advanced foam structure improves capillary movement, allowing exudate to spread across the dressing surface rather than pooling in one area. This helps maintain an optimal moist wound environment, reduces leakage risk, and supports longer wear time.

Usage Guidelines:

1. Cleanse and dry the wound and surrounding skin
2. Select an appropriate dressing size to ensure adequate coverage
3. Apply gently without stretching
4. Secure with a secondary fixation if required
5. Change as clinically indicated or before full saturation

Precautions:

• Do not use in patients with known sensitivity to dressing materials
• Avoid use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide
• Do not reuse; single-use only
• Do not use if sterile packaging is compromised
