Fragile skin in best hands

• secure and rapid fixation is possible on nearly all, even frequently moving and highly contoured parts of the body;
• the entire wound dressing is protected against contamination;
• cutting to size eliminates unnecessary wastage;
• the backing material is soft and pliable;
• the adhesive is skin-friendly and adheres reliably;
• wide-area fixation can be easily and rapidly applied.

The skin-friendly, highly breathable wide-area fixation film is designed to protect reliably against water, bacteria and contaminants.

• Permeable to water vapour and lets the skin breathe;
• skin friendly,
• very good initial and permanent adhesion,
• stretchable, durable and high wearing comfort.
• barrier against bacteria, viruses and contaminants,
• prevents skin maceration and tension blisters.

Leukoplast Antimicrobial Spool Brochure

• What is Antimicrobial Spool Material?

  A microbial component (zinc molybdenum oxide compound) is incorporated in the plastic at the time of manufacture. It reacts with the atmospheric moisture on the surface. This lowers the PH of the plastic spool and snap ring making it more acidic. An acidic environment is formed, in which pathogenic germs are destroyed.
