Mefix Adhesive Tape 311000 10CM X 10M (0925495)

I have been using Mefix tape for many years as my nan used to get it. But when I couldn't get it on prescription I looked into purchasing it online. As with the other reviews I can't recommend this enough! I use it to stop my heels from rubbing and my toes as I have rheumatoid arthritis and it gives them some padding. Also perfect for use instead of plaster. It isnt waterproof though, just to point that out. I love the fact you can cut off as much or as little as you want or need. It's super sticky and will seriously last for days without tucking up. My only issue is.... because I have arthritis in my hands I have to get someone to peel back the sticky bit as it's a lil tricky getting the paper off. It's not like a plaster where you have two halves.... this is like a sticky label So just be aware if you are buying this and struggle with dexterity. But overall this is seriously worth buying. It will last for ages as you can get various size rolls. The price is very very reasonable. Arrived on time, packaged well.... although box didn't have a seal not sure if they do though?!

I first came across this product when my son had an ingrowing toe nail removed & the hospital & later the nurse at the GPs used it. It is great stuff. It feels like a cross between paper & cotton so it is very soft but strong & incredibly easy to cut. We have used it many times over the last couple of years. It works well for many things (not just for holding dressings)eg. avoiding blisters on a hike, or strapping fingers up. I currently have a damaged thumb & I've used it to make a splint. It comes off fairly easily, but is very secure. It also 'gives' a little (unlike micropore tape) so if you are strapping up on a joint it will bend. This will be my third purchase of this tape. I haven't seen anything better on the market & to be honest, I think it's so good I wouldn't bother with anything else.

This is a really great tape. It is extremely strong in terms of adhesion. They stay put unless it’s on awkward angle then you may need to apply extra. I’ve used these for a big wound and found it’s way more cost effect to buy this and gauze than to splurge on plasters as these accommodate for wounds of all sizes. It’s also great for henna. It have helped me gain a dark stain overnight by keeping the paste in place but also protecting my face from unwanted henna prints. I recommend these highly. There’s so much on this roll that I doubt i will be needing to purchase them soon but when i do, these are the ones i hope to buy.

Good product, but more difficult to remove backing than Hypafix tape

This tape is great for sensitive skin. Roll lasts a long time. Sticks really well and also removes easily. Be good to have skin tone options.

Easy to cut to the size needed and the perforated paper back makes applying straight forward. Adhesion is excellent. No irritation if it is fixed with the length of the tape along, rather than across, any flexing. You only use as much as you need so little waste. Highly recommended.

For the past three months and counting, I've required daily dressing changes on my surgical wound, and I've lost count how many dressing pads and rolls of this Mefix tape I've gotten though in that time! Easily 50 metres anyway! In that time, the tape has served me well, and I'm glad it comes in 10 metre rolls. It's easy to cut to size and there's lines on the backing paper every 10cm so you can measure out how much you need. Tip; Once cut you can gently pull the tape apart width ways to assist in removing the backing paper and stick it accordingly. I find that this tape adheres well and is generally gentle on my skin. Would reccomend - I'm on my fourth roll!!

Media tape is what is used by the NHS to seal dressings on wounds. So much better than Zinc Oxide tape. Does need to be changed if the wound is wet and takes a while to learn how to remove paper backing paper, but amazing.
