Mefix Tape

Mefix consists of an apertured, non-woven polyester fabric coated with a layer of an acrylic adhesive, and protected on the roll by a release paper backing. The apertured structure imparts a degree of lateral extensibility and conformability to the product, which has a high tensile strength and must be cut with scissors. 

Mefix is available in a range of widths and 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. 

Benefits include:

• Pre-measured protection paper for convenient measurement and cutting.
• Perforated split in protection paper for easy handling.
• Skin-friendly, water-based, solvent-free polyacrylate adhesive for secure and gentle fixation.
• Soft, elastic nonabsorbent non-woven for patient comfort.
• Mefix is made of a porous, polyester elastic nonwoven coated with a skin- friendly polyacrylate adhesive providing secure fixation.
• It is protected by an easy-to-remove, pre-measured release liner.
