Mepilex UP Non-Bordered Foam Dressing

Mepilex UP Non-Bordered Sterile Foam Dressing is a new type of non-bordered foam dressing that reduces the possibility of leakage. These distinct spreading qualities can lead to extended wear time and fewer dressing changes. Its innovative dimpled surface pattern allows the dressing to disseminate fluids in all directions, including against gravity. Safetac seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin and lowering the risk of maceration. It also adheres gently to intact skin but not the wound itself, preventing damage to the peri-wound skin (e.g., skin stripping) and the wound bed, as well as reducing associated pain during removal.

Features:

• Latex free.
• Designed intuitively to address the difficulties of leaking.
• Supports greater fluid handling capabilities than other foam dressings.
• Effectively manage large amounts of fluid over time.
• Capability to handle viscous fluids.
• Unique capacity to disperse fluids in all directions, including against gravity.
• Can be used on a variety of wounds and sites.
• Longer wear time with fewer dressing changes.
• Leakage risk is reduced, even when compressed.

Dressing composition:

• Breathable, water-resistant backing film. Holds fluid in the dressing while enabling excess moisture to escape.
• It is very conformable and low-profile, making it ideal for difficult-to-dress areas.
• Safetac wound contact layer ensures gentle adhesion while reducing pain and harm to the wound bed and surrounding skin.

How it works:

• The innovative foam structure generates a unique dimpled surface pattern.
• The dimpled pattern allows the dressing to distribute fluids equally in all directions, including against gravity.
• The innovative and unique spreading properties reduce the likelihood of leakage, perhaps leading to longer wear time and fewer dressing changes.

Indications:

• Intended for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds in all healing stages such as venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers.
• Can be used under compression bandages and in combination with gels.

Directions to use:

1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical procedures. Completely dry the surrounding skin.
2. Choose a suitable clothing size. The dressing should cover at least 1-2cm of the dry surrounding skin for smaller sizes (up to 12.5 x 12.5cm) and 3-5cm for larger ones. If necessary, the dressing can be trimmed to accommodate different wound forms and locations. Remove the first release film.
3. Apply the adhesive side to the wound. Remove the remaining release film and smooth the dressing onto the skin. Don't stretch the dressing.
4. When necessary, secure Mepilex Up with a bandage or other fixation.
