Description
Fixomull S/ADHES, also known as Fixomull Stretch, is a highly versatile medical fixation tape crafted by BSN Medical. Designed for the secure application of dressings and medical devices, it excels in adhering to joints and contoured or highly mobile body parts. This ensures a snug fit without compromising blood circulation or causing constriction.
Key Features
-
Material: Made from a transversely stretchable, nonwoven polyester fabric, this tape is both soft and flexible. Its hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive is dermatologically tested, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
-
Breathability: The tape is permeable to air and water vapor, maintaining skin moisture balance and reducing the risk of maceration. Its water-resistant nature allows it to maintain adhesion even in damp conditions.
-
Radiotransparency: Compatible with X-rays, it does not need to be removed during radiological procedures.
Application Benefits
-
Conformability: With high elasticity, Fixomull S/ADHES adapts well to moving body areas, providing strong initial and permanent adhesion with minimal residue upon removal.
-
Ease of Use: The tape can be hand-torn and cut to size, with a scored backing film for easy application.
Intended Uses
- Securing wound dressings, particularly large or foam dressings
- Fixation of medical devices, tubes, and catheters
- Protective under-tape to prevent skin irritation from other tapes
- Blister prevention taping for areas like toes and heels
Suitable Environments
Ideal for clinical and hospital settings, home care, and sports or physiotherapy applications. Its skin-friendly properties make it a reliable choice for those with sensitive or fragile skin.
Maintenance Guidelines
The tape can be gently washed over with soap and water. If it begins to curl or peel, trimming the edges is recommended. Available in various sizes, including 5 cm x 10 m, 10 cm x 10 m, 15 cm x 2 m, and 5 cm x 5 m, Fixomull S/ADHES offers a tailored solution for diverse medical needs.
