Fixomull Transparent Waterproof Fillm Roll 10cm X 2 mtr

This product is a transparent, waterproof film dressing supplied in a continuous roll format. It is designed for the secure fixation and protection of wound dressings, as well as for the anchoring of medical devices such as probes, catheters, and measuring equipment. The dressing is constructed from a thin, breathable polyurethane film coated with a skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive.

This combination allows the film to act as a reliable barrier against water, bacteria, and other external contaminants, while simultaneously permitting the skin to respire. The semi-permeable nature of the film facilitates the release of water vapor from the skin's surface, which helps to prevent maceration, a common issue with occlusive dressings.

The film's construction provides a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), contributing to a favorable wound healing environment. Its flexibility and stretchability allow it to conform closely to the body's contours, including areas with significant movement such as joints, thereby minimizing the risk of dislodgement. The transparent nature of the film allows for visual inspection of the underlying wound or device without the need for frequent dressing changes, which can be disruptive to the healing process and increase the risk of contamination.

The adhesive is designed to be gentle on the skin, facilitating easy and atraumatic removal. The roll format allows for customization of the dressing size to suit individual application needs, reducing material waste.

This product is intended for use by a range of individuals, including medical professionals such as nurses, doctors, and surgical staff, as well as patients and caregivers responsible for wound management and the securement of medical devices in both clinical and home care settings. Its versatility makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from post-operative wound care and the protection of surgical sites to the management of chronic wounds, skin tears, and the securement of indwelling catheters and tubes. The waterproof and bacteria-impermeable properties make it particularly useful for patients who need to maintain hygiene through showering or bathing while their dressing or device needs to remain in place and protected.

When applying the dressing, it is important to ensure that the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions to achieve optimal adhesion. The film should be applied smoothly, avoiding excessive stretching that could lead to skin irritation upon removal. For removal, it is recommended to gently lift a corner of the film and stretch it parallel to the skin's surface while pulling.

This technique helps to break the adhesive bond gradually, minimizing discomfort and preventing skin stripping or hair pulling. The product is non-sterile and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

The dimensions of this specific product are a width of 10 centimeters and a length of 2 meters, provided as a continuous roll. The material composition includes a polyurethane film and a polyacrylate adhesive. It is suitable for use across all age groups, from infants to seniors, due to its skin-friendly adhesive properties and conformability.

The overall weight, including packaging, is approximately 60 to 80 grams.
