Mepilex Up is an innovative, non-bordered foam dressing designed to minimize the risk of leakage and improve clinical outcomes in wound management. It features a patented dimpled foam structure that enhances capillary action, allowing exudate to spread evenly in all directions, even against gravity. This unique fluid-spreading capability helps the dressing manage high volumes of fluid and both low and high viscosity exudates, reducing the risk of maceration and extending wear time, which leads to fewer dressing changes. Despite its slim, low-profile design, Mepilex Up is highly conformable and suitable for use in all stages of wound healing across a wide range of wound types and locations, including difficult-to-dress areas.
