Description
Mefix is a self-adhesive fabric for secure fixation of dressings, tubes and cannulas. Breathable but water-resistant, Mefix provides protection from outside contamination. It is gentle on the skin and skin friendly, and its conformability makes it comfortable to wear.
Size: 2.5cm x 10m.
Uses
Mefix can be used to fixate dressings, swabs, catheters, tubes and in a wide variety of other situations where fixation is required.
Application:
- Cut the Mefix to an appropriate size
- Separate the two parts of the protection paper by lightly stretching and bending the Mefix
- Remove the narrow part
- Apply the part with the exposed adhesive to the skin
- Remove the remaining protection paper
- Firmly smooth the Mefix to obtain proper adhesion
- Do not stretch Mefix when applying
- Please be careful not to apply Mefix under tension – as this may cause shearing forces, which can damage the skin. This is particularly important over joints.
