Description
Fixomull Stretch is a versatile medical adhesive tape designed for secure and flexible fixation of wound dressings, tubes, catheters, and other medical devices. Its unique stretchable, non-woven polyester backing allows it to conform seamlessly to the body's contours, making it particularly suitable for use on joints and highly mobile areas.
Key Features
- Hypoallergenic Adhesive: The skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive ensures that Fixomull Stretch is suitable for sensitive or fragile skin, minimizing the risk of irritation.
- Breathability: Its breathable design allows air and moisture to pass through, reducing the risk of skin maceration and promoting comfort during extended wear.
- Radiotransparency: The tape is radiotransparent, meaning it does not need to be removed during X-rays or radiotherapy, providing continuous protection without interference.
Application Benefits
- Easy Application: Equipped with a quick-release backing paper, Fixomull Stretch can be easily cut to the desired size, reducing wastage and allowing precise application.
- Secure Adhesion: Offers excellent initial and long-term adhesion, ensuring that dressings and devices remain securely in place.
- Water Resistance: Its thin and flexible construction provides water resistance, safeguarding against contamination and maintaining integrity in various conditions.
Practical Uses
Commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings, Fixomull Stretch serves multiple purposes:
- Blister Prevention and Friction Protection: Acts as a protective barrier on the skin.
- Support for Surgical Incisions: Provides support and protection for surgical sites, particularly after suture removal.
Instructions for Use
- Preparation: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application.
- Cutting: Cut the tape to the required size, rounding edges if necessary.
- Application: Smooth the tape over the area without excessive tension, especially over joints.
- Removal: Peel slowly to avoid irritation; an adhesive remover can be used if needed.
