hor Mefix Dressing Retention Tape 2.5cm x 10m (Pack of 2)

Excellent and stick well

I've used Mefix for decades in my working life and also personal life, it's always been great to use, sticks well, moulds to any shape very well, stays in place and it's easy to get off by dampening it when necessary. Beats other tapes hands down as it doesn't have a papery texture. Great for people with a sensitive skin.

I needed something better than micropore tape which curls and comes off my very dry skin. So I thought I'd try this one.....so glad I did, it's perfect. It holds really well and doesn't come off. The only problem I have is that it takes me ages to get the backing off. Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm just plain awkward. Would someone please let me know if there's an easy or correct way to do it. TY

Very good dressing tape, good adhesion

Simple to use and great also for wrapping to prevent blisters

Not quite as skin friendly as the standards Mepore plasters- also sold on Amazon and very useful for fragile skin-but my skin is like tissue paper these days, so that’s a very high bar. Very handy for using with absorbent not sticky pads on a wound, or patching up an edge of an errant plaster if it is coming off in a corner. I will buy more when the roll is finished. Tip: if you don’t want to get the wound dirty by soaking plaster or tape off, try using alcohol injection wipes to tease the plaster off from a corner. Available on Amazon. If you don’t have any, or you don’t want to be breathing in too much alcohol concentrate! Use a small pad of kitchen roll damped down and rubbed onto a new bar of non perfumed soap, or gentle handwashing. When the plaster is off, wipe round where the sticky bit was with a small pad of clean damp kitchen roll, or wound wipe, or saline wipe to get rid of any residue of alcohol or soap.
