Explore the Clean, Cover, Compress pathway — a coordinated approach using Granudacyn for wound cleansing, Mepilex Up for exudate management, and Mepi Press 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.
Beneath it, debris builds on the wound bed that may physically block healing. Around it, heavy exudate breaks down healthy skin. And underneath everything, the venous pressure that caused the ulcer keeps working against it. Address only what you can see, and healing stalls, or the progress already made comes undone.
A connected approach to a complex wound
-
If the problem is more than one thing, the answer has to be too. Clean. Cover. Compress. brings the three essential stages of venous ulcer care into one connected approach, each step doing a job the others can't, and each doing a job the others can't. 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 2 Lite deliver graduated 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 wash for cleansing and irrigating chronic, acute, and contaminated wounds. Tissue-compatible and safe to leave in the wound, it mechanically lifts microorganisms and debris, and helps reduce the malodor that comes with a colonized wound bed. Stable at room temperature for repeated use after opening.
-
Because exudate that spreads is a problem that spreads.
Cover with Mepilex® Up
An advanced foam dressing for supporting effective wound exudate management.. 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. The result is fewer leaks, longer wear time, and fewer interruptions to healing.

Because the right pressure depends on the patient.
Compress with Mepi™ Press 2 & Mepi™ Press 2 Lite
A two-layer compression therapy system with a built-in application indicator that takes the guesswork out of getting compression right. Mepi™ Press 2 delivers ~40 mmHg for standard venous disease (ABI 0.8–1.3); Mepi™ Press 2 Lite delivers ~30 mmHg for patients who need reduced compression (ABI 0.6–0.8). Both stay in place without extra fixation, wear up to 7 days, and tear by hand for easy application.
