The number of patients with fragile or compromised skin is constantly increasing, making skin integrity a pressing topic for healthcare providers. Especially elderly patients, infants and patients undergoing long-term treatment are affected.
Standard fixation products may cause adhesive-related injuries when removed, risking pain and potentially even necessitating additional treatment for patients. Fixomull skin sensitive has been specifically developed for patients with fragile and compromised skin. The soft silicone adhesive ensures secure fixation and atraumatic removal.
