For secure and permanent fixation
Roll plasters should be tailored as individually as possible to the skin type and application. Leukoplast ® is always recommended when the fixation has to stick particularly securely.
The Leukoplast ® Roll is a skin-colored fixation plaster with a water-repellent surface for normally sensitive skin. It is exceptionally tensile and has a high immediate and permanent adhesive strength. Leukoplast ® adheres firmly and securely even under heavy loads and is permeable to air and water vapor.
Professional wound care in the best hands
The condition of the skin has a major influence on our quality of life. The skin is an organ that is as important as it is fascinating, acting as a sensory interface between the body and the environment and as an important barrier against harmful external influences. Any disruption to skin integrity – whether due to acute or chronic diseases, traumatic injuries or operations – is a physical and emotional burden.
The LEUKOPLAST ® product range from essity is based on a comprehensive understanding of the needs and properties of our skin. The products serve to protect, maintain and restore skin integrity through tailor-made solutions for almost all wound management requirements
