Leakage and quality of life aspects are common threads running through the array of literature on patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs). Patient quality of life is significantly impacted by the effects of chronic exudate1,2,3.
When dressings don’t properly manage exudate, fluid can leak onto and soil patient garments, compression devices, wraps, furniture and healthy skin. Explore additional information on this topic here.
Mepilex Up® is an innovative foam dressing designed to minimise the risk of leakage and prevent its spread to healthy skin.

This time-lapse demonstration showcases the Fluhte method, a clinically relevant test method which simulates an exuding lower leg.
A patented foam structure creates a dimpled surface.
The innovative dimpled foam improves the capillary action, allowing fluids to spread in all directions, even against gravity⁴.
The unique spreading properties minimise the risk of leakage and manage exudate for several days, which may contribute to longer wear time⁴.
Given its unique spreading properties, Mepilex Up® can successfully manage high volumes of fluid for a long period, which may contribute to a long wear time and fewer dressing changes⁵ potentially saving valuable time and money.
Additionally, leaving the dressing in place for several days supports undisturbed wound healing efforts and their subsequent benefits.
