Mepilex® Up is a new and innovative non-bordered foam dressing designed to minimise risk of leakage. Inspired by patient needs and clinician perspectives. Despite its thinness, Mepilex Up can effectively manage high volumes of fluids thanks to its capability to evenly spread and distribute fluids in all directions within the dressing  ¹. These unique spreading properties can contribute to long wear time and fewer dressing changes  ¹ . 

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   ^{2 3   4   5   6   7   8   9} Safetac seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk of maceration.

• The innovative dimpled foam improves the capillary action, allowing fluids to spread in all directions, even against gravity 2024 ¹ 
• Absorbs and spreads both high- and low-viscosity fluids  ¹ 
• Designed to minimise leakage  ¹ 
• Minimises the risk of maceration   ^{1  10}   
• Its low profile makes it highly conformable and easy to handle  ¹ 
• Supports a higher fluid handling capacity than other foam dressings*  ¹ 
• Can be used on a wide range of wounds and locations  ¹  
• Can be cut to suit various wound shapes  ¹
