Mepilex Up is a highly conformable dressing that absorbs both low and high viscous exudate, maintains a moist wound environment and minimises the risk of maceration. The soft silicone layer (Safetac®) is non-adherent to the moist wound bed, but adheres gently to the dry peri-wound skin. It protects the wound and skin, while also minimising pain for patients and reducing trauma to the wound and surrounding skin during dressing removal.
