How To Use Mefix?
- Cut to desired length. The two parts of the protection paper are separated.
- Gently “tug” from side to side to break the perforations on the release paper. Remove the narrow part to expose adhesive surface.
- Apply the part with the exposed adhesive to the skin. Remove remaining release paper and gently smooth in place.
- Note: If required, Mefix can be applied lengthwise over the dressing, peeling away the release paper in a strip. To apply in this manner do not break the perforation in the release paper. Instead, pull the release paper back 3-5 cm from top, fixate to skin above dressing and gently apply Mefix lengthwise over the dressing.
Precautions:
To prevent shearing, care should be taken to ensure that Mefix is not applied under tension. This is particularly important when applied over joints.
