USL Mefix 2 Self-Adhesive Fabric Tape 15cm × 10m – Wide Flexible Non-Woven Fixation Tape for Large Wound Dressings

USL Mefix 2 in the 15cm × 10m width is a self-adhesive non-woven fabric fixation tape designed for securing larger wound dressings, wider bandages, and medical devices requiring broad-area adhesive fixation. The wide 15cm width makes it particularly suitable for securing abdominal dressings, large wound pads, post-surgical incision coverings, and any application where the narrow 10cm roll is insufficient. The soft non-woven fabric breathes well, conforms to body contours, and adheres gently to skin.

• Non-woven fabric — soft, breathable, and conforming
• 15cm wide — ideal for large wound dressings and wider fixation areas
• Self-adhesive — no additional fixation required
• Gentle on skin — suitable for sensitive and fragile skin
• 10m roll — generous supply for high-volume or wide-area fixation

Frequently Asked Questions

When would I choose the 15cm width over the 10cm Mefix?

Choose the 15cm Mefix for: abdominal dressings covering large incision sites, large wound pads that require wider border fixation, securing multiple dressings across a wide area, post-surgical chest or abdominal wound coverage, and any situation where a 10cm strip does not provide adequate coverage on both sides of the dressing edge.

Can I cut Mefix 15cm to smaller widths?

Yes — Mefix can be cut lengthwise to any required width using standard scissors. For applications requiring narrower strips, cutting the 15cm roll to the needed width is straightforward. Cut the corners of strips to prevent peeling during wear.

Is Mefix suitable for elderly or fragile skin?

Yes — Mefix's relatively gentle acrylic adhesive and soft non-woven backing make it preferred for sensitive, fragile, or elderly skin where stronger tapes risk skin tears on removal. Always remove gently — peel back slowly parallel to the skin. Adhesive remover spray further reduces trauma on very fragile skin.

Is Mefix waterproof?

Mefix is water-resistant for light moisture exposure but not fully waterproof. For wet environments (showering, bathing), cover with a waterproof film dressing over the Mefix-secured dressing for full protection.

How does the 15cm × 10m roll compare to the 10cm × 10m roll?

Both are the same USL Mefix product — identical materials and adhesive. The only difference is the width: 15cm versus 10cm. For large dressings or post-surgical coverage, the 15cm provides better single-strip coverage; for standard wound dressings and narrower applications, the 10cm is sufficient.
