Description
Mefix by Mölnlycke Health Care is a self-adhesive nonwoven fixation tape designed for secure, gentle attachment of dressings and medical devices. This 5 cm x 10 m roll features a soft, conformable backing that adapts to body contours and flexing areas, helping maintain comfort and mobility. The non-absorbent fabric acts as a barrier to blood and external fluid strike-through, while remaining air and water vapour permeable to support skin integrity and reduce the risk of maceration. A water-based, solvent-free polyacrylate adhesive provides reliable fixation with gentle removal and is latex-free.
Key Features
- Soft, flexible nonwoven backing conforms to curves and joints, allowing movement.
- Breathable construction permits air and moisture vapour transmission to help protect skin.
- Non-absorbent surface resists external fluid strike-through.
- Water-based, solvent-free polyacrylate adhesive for secure hold and gentle removal; latex-free.
- Easy handling with split protection paper and 10 cm interval markings; tape can be cut to shape and size.
