Mefix 10cm X 5m (311076)

Product Description

Mefix 10cm x 5m Mefix consists of an apertured, non-woven polyester fabric coated with a layer of an acrylic adhesive, & protected on the roll by a release paper backing. The apertured structure imparts a degree of lateral extensibility & conformability to the product, which has a high tensile strength & must be cut with scissors. Mefix is available in a range of widths & is sometimes referred to as a `dressing retention sheet'. Because the tape is permeable to water vapour, it is unlikely to cause tissue maceration or be adversely affected by sweating. As both the fabric & the adhesive mass are radio-transparent, Mefix does not have to be removed if the patient is to be X-rayed. Benefits of Mefix Pre-measured protection paper for convenient measurement & cutting Perforated split in protection paper for easy handling Skin-friendly, waterbased, solvent-free polyacrylate adhesive for secure & gentle fixation Soft, elastic nonabsorbent nonwoven for patient comfort Areas of use Mefix can be used in a wide variety of situations where fixation is required, including fixation of dressings, swabs, catheters, & tubes. How Mefix works The porous structure of the nonwoven fabric ensures air & water vapour permeability. The fabric is flexible, confirms well to body contours, & allows body movements when in place. The fabric is non-absorbent & provides a barrier for blood & fluid strike-through. The water-based polyacrylate adhesive has been designed to be gentle to the skin & at the same time provide secure fixation. The easy-to-remove protection paper is pre-measured in 10 cm intervals, & has a perforated split for easy removal & application. Mefix can easily be cut to the desired shape & size. Design Mefix is made from a porous, polyester elastic nonwoven coated with a skin- friendly polyacrylate adhesive providing secure fixation. It is protected by an easy-to-remove, premeasured release liner.
