Explore the Clean, Cover, Compress pathway — a coordinated approach using Granudacyn for wound cleansing, Mepilex Up for exudate management, and Mepi Press 2 for sustained compression therapy.
Vascular Disease Awareness Month
Healing a VLU isn't one decision. It's every decision.
Get the Decision GuideVenous ulcers, also called venous stasis ulcers, are among the most challenging chronic wounds to manage. This Vascular Disease Awareness Month, we're highlighting how every decision in venous ulcer care, from wound bed preparation through compression therapy, shapes the healing journey. Because every step counts.
With a VLU, the wound on the surface isn't the whole problem.
A venous leg ulcer requires addressing multiple factors. Debris in the wound bed can delay healing, drainage can harm nearby skin, and underlying venous insufficiency continues to contribute to the problem. Clean. Cover. Compress. Three essential steps that work together to support healing, because every step counts.
A connected approach to a complex wound
-
Healing a venous leg ulcer requires more than treating the wound itself. Debris in the wound bed can delay healing, drainage can harm nearby skin, and underlying venous insufficiency continues to contribute to the problem. Clean. Cover. Compress. Three essential steps that work together to support healing, because every step counts.
-
1. Clean
Prepare the wound.
Granudacyn® cleanses and moistens the wound bed, loosening wound bed debris without harming the fragile cells that drive healing.
-
2. Cover
Manage exudate.
Mepilex® Up absorbs and locks away exudate, protecting the wound and surrounding skin from the leakage and maceration that stall progress.
-
3. Compress
Apply compression.
Mepi™ Press 2 and Mepi™ Press 2 Lite deliver compression matched to the patient's ABI, treating the venous pressure at the root of the ulcer.
The products behind every step.
-
The section above is the approach. This is what powers it. Each product is built for one job in the venous ulcer management pathway, and built to work with the others.

Because you can't heal what you haven't cleaned.
Clean with Granudacyn®
A ready-to-use wound wash14 for cleansing and irrigating chronic, acute, and contaminated wounds.1 Non-cytotoxic and non-irritating to wounds and surrounding skin,2 it mechanically lifts microorganisms and debris,1 and may help reduce wound malodor through mechanical removal of debris.1 Once opened, Granudacyn maintains its microbial purity for up to 60 days.14

Because exudate that spreads is a problem that spreads.
Cover with Mepilex® Up
An advanced foam dressing for supporting effective wound exudate management.15 A patented dimpled foam structure pulls fluid in every direction, even against gravity, so exudate is drawn away from healthy skin instead of pooling against it.6,16 The result is fewer leaks, longer wear time, and fewer interruptions to healing.3,6-8

Because the right pressure depends on the patient.
Compress with Mepi™ Press 2 & Mepi™ Press 2 Lite
A two-layer compression therapy system12-13 with a built-in application indicator that takes the guesswork out of getting compression right.19 Mepi" Press 2 delivers ~40 mmHg for standard venous disease (ABI 0.81.3)12,17; Mepi" Press 2 Lite delivers ~30 mmHg for patients who need reduced compression (ABI 0.60.8)13,18. Both stay in place without extra fixation19, wear up to 7 days20, and tear by hand for easy application.19
