Mepilex® Up (formerly Mepilex XT) Soft Silicone Foam Dressing is a new and innovative non-bordered foam dressing designed to minimise risk of leakage. Inspired by patient needs and clinician perspectives. Despite its thinness, Mepilex Up can effectively manage high volumes of fluids thanks to its capability to evenly spread and distribute fluids in all directions within the dressing. 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.

  • The innovative dimpled foam improves the capillary action, allowing fluids to spread in all directions, even against gravity
  • Absorbs and spreads both high- and low-viscosity fluids
  • Designed to minimise leakage
  • Minimises the risk of maceration
  • Its low profile makes it highly conformable and easy to handle
  • Supports a higher fluid handling capacity than other foam dressings
  • Can be used on a wide range of wounds and locations
  • Can be cut to suit various wound shapes

Directions

  1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Select an appropriate dressing size considering the following: For low exuding wounds, the dressing should cover the surrounding skin by at least 1 cm for small wounds and at least 3 cm for large wounds. For moderately to highly exuding wounds, regardless of wound size, the dressing should cover the surrounding skin by at least 5 cm. The dressing may be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations.
  2. Remove the first release film. 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.
