Mepilex UP Non-Bordered Foam Dressing

Manufacturer's Description

Say hello to Mepilex® Up.

Mepilex Up is an innovative foam dressing intentionally designed to minimize the risk of leakage and prevent its spread to healthy skin.

Given its unique spreading properties, Mepilex Up can successfully manage high volumes of fluid for a long period, which may contribute to a long wear time and fewer dressing changes, potentially saving valuable time and money. Additionally, leaving the dressing in place for several days supports undisturbed wound healing efforts and their subsequent benefits.

Foam dressings that can't adequately manage fluid from exudating ulcers are often wasteful due to the increased need for washing patient clothing, compression devices and bed linen. For clinicians, it potentially wastes not only medical supplies but also precious time rewrapping wounds. However, Mepilex Up may be left in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice.
