About

Fixomull is a versatile, wide-area adhesive retention tape specifically engineered for the secure and comfortable fixation of wound dressings, especially on large anatomical areas, joints, and highly contoured body parts. It features a soft, non-woven polyester fabric backing that is exceptionally conformable and highly breathable, allowing the skin to respire naturally and effectively preventing moisture build-up and maceration. The tape is coated with a skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive, which ensures reliable and long-lasting adhesion while significantly minimizing the risk of skin irritation, making it suitable even for patients with sensitive or fragile skin. Its inherent stretchability allows for unrestricted patient movement without compromising the integrity of the dressing fixation, making it an ideal solution for extended wear and for ensuring patient comfort and compliance in various medical applications.
