- Joint Friendly – Conforms where tape strips keep letting go.
Non-Woven Retention Tape for Dressing Securement
RiteFix is a non-woven dressing retention tape designed to secure primary dressings without the bulk and skin stress of conventional tape strips. The stretch sheeting conforms to body contours and joint movement while holding dressings in place. Rolls are 11 yards long in 2 in, 4 in and 6 in widths, so staff cut exactly the coverage each dressing needs. It is a practical securement layer for wounds on elbows, knees, heels and other sites where tape alone keeps letting go.

Why Choose RiteFix Retention Tape
Tape strips concentrate stress on two narrow lines of skin and let go at the first joint bend. Retention sheeting spreads the hold over the whole dressing and moves with the patient. RiteFix turns securement from a recurring failure into a one step finish.
- Holds Where Tape Fails – Conforming sheeting keeps dressings seated on joints and curved sites.
- Kinder to Skin – Distributed hold avoids the edge peeling and stripping of repeated tape strips.
- Cut Exactly Right – Sheet format means no wasted width and no uncovered dressing corners.
- Roll Value – Eleven yard rolls in three widths simplify the securement shelf.
