Patients can suffer feelings of isolation from the embarrassment of drainage their current dressings cannot manage and can experience delays in wound healing1,2. As a caregiver, you want to help to reduce this distress and help improve their quality of life.
As a NuEdge CONNECT partner, Molnlycke Health Care is a world-leading medical device company that equips healthcare professionals with innovative products that help address wound challenges such as chronic exudate. One of those innovative products is Mepilex® Up.

With Mepilex Up, you and your patients may experience one or more of the following benefits:
With Mepilex Up, innovative fluid control is within reach as is a life with less leakage.
