About Elastoplast Classic Fixation Tape 2.5cm x 5m
Elastoplast Classic Fixation Tape is a home first-aid essential to firmly secure wound dressings, wound pads and compresses to the skin. It is also suitable for holding medical equipment in place — including tubes, catheters, probes and measuring instruments. The tape can be torn cleanly by hand, removing the need for scissors, which makes it useful for everyday first-aid kits and travel kits.
Key features
- Strong, reliable adhesion for holding dressings and wound pads in place
- Hand-tearable — no scissors required
- Latex-free (suitable for many people with latex sensitivities — check with your pharmacist if you have a known latex allergy)
- 2.5cm wide × 5m long roll
- Comfortable to wear; flexible enough for everyday movement
Suitable uses
- Securing wound dressings and absorbent pads in place
- Holding compresses, gauze and dressings to the skin
- Securing medical equipment such as IV lines, drainage tubes and probes (under healthcare practitioner direction)
Directions for use
Ensure the skin is clean and dry. Apply the dressing or pad first, then secure with strips of Elastoplast Classic Fixation Tape across the dressing edges. Tear by hand to the desired length. Remove gently, peeling slowly back along the skin. Replace the tape when changing the dressing or if it becomes loose, soiled or wet.
Warnings and important information
- Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
- Do not place tape directly on an open wound — apply over a sterile dressing or wound pad.
- If skin irritation, redness or rash develops, remove the tape and discontinue use.
- This product is for external use only.
- If a wound shows signs of infection (increasing pain, swelling, redness, pus or fever), seek medical advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is Elastoplast Classic Fixation Tape latex-free?
Yes. Elastoplast Australia confirms that the Classic Fixation Tape range is latex-free. If you have a known severe latex allergy, ask your pharmacist to confirm the current product specification before first use.
Can I tear the tape without scissors?
Yes — the Classic Fixation Tape is designed to be hand-tearable. According to Elastoplast Australia, the tape can be torn cleanly by hand to length, which is one of the design features that makes it useful for first-aid kits and travel use.
Is the tape waterproof — can I shower with it on?
Elastoplast Australia markets the Classic Fixation Tape as a fixation tape rather than as a waterproof tape. If the dressing or tape gets wet, it loses adhesion and should be replaced. For showering or contact with water, Elastoplast offers separate water-resistant products (such as the Aqua Protect range). Always change a dressing if it becomes wet or soiled.
Can I use it on sensitive skin?
The Classic Fixation Tape is a general-use fixation tape. Elastoplast Australia produces a dedicated Sensitive Fixation Tape designed for people with delicate, fragile or easily-irritated skin. If you experience redness or irritation with the Classic version, switch to the Sensitive range or speak to your pharmacist.
Can I put the tape directly over a wound?
No. The tape is intended to hold a sterile dressing, wound pad or compress in place over a wound — not to contact the wound itself. Place a clean, sterile dressing over the wound first, then use the fixation tape across the edges of the dressing to hold it secure.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL ON THE PRODUCT AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE UNLESS DIRECTED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
