The Mefix Tape is a skin-friendly fixation solution designed to securely hold dressings, swabs, catheters, and tubes while remaining comfortable for patients. It features a pre-measured protection paper with a perforated split for easy handling and cutting, and a water-based, solvent-free polyacrylate adhesive that provides gentle yet secure fixation. The product uses a soft, elastic nonwoven that is nonabsorbent and breathable, allowing air and water vapour to pass through while offering a barrier to blood and fluid strike-through. Suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, this tape conforms well to body contours and accommodates movement without loosening.
