Hydrocellular dressings
Mepilex Up is a conformable dressing that absorbs both low and high viscosity wound fluid, maintains a moist wound environment and reduces the risk of maceration. The soft silicone layer (Safetac®) does not adhere to the moist wound area, but adheres lightly to the dry skin around the wound. It not only protects the wound and skin, but also ensures that patients feel minimal pain and that the wound and surrounding skin are not damaged when removing the dressing.
• Advantages :
- The innovative honeycomb pattern foam improves capillary action, allowing moisture to spread in all directions, even against gravity
- Absorbs and disperses liquids of both high and low viscosity
- Designed to reduce leakage
- Limits the risk of maceration
- With its thin foam structure, the bandage is easy to shape and use
• Safetac® technology. Less damage. Less pain:
Safetac® adheres lightly to intact skin, but not to the wound itself. This prevents damage to the surrounding skin (such as skin stripping) and to the wound bed, while the patient feels little pain during removal. Safetac® seals the wound edges, preventing wound fluid from leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizing the risk of maceration.
• Directions for use:
Management of wound fluid in low to high exuding wounds with and without compression therapy.
