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