Mepilex Up
Mepilex Up is a highly conformable dressing that absorbs both low and high viscous exudates, maintains a moist wound environment and minimises the risk of maceration. The dressing has a Safetac® wound contact layer that is a unique adhesive technology. It minimises pain to patients and trauma to wounds and the surrounding skin at dressing removal. Mepilex Up consists of: * a soft silicone wound contact layer (Safetac) * a flexible absorbent pad of compressed polyurethane foam * an outer polyurethane film which is breathable but waterproof Dressing material content: Silicone, polyurethane
