Ichthopaste

Ichthopaste Products are a category of adhesive paste dressings used in medical and wound care settings to promote secure fixation, moisture management, and protection. Ichthopaste formulations are typically based on ichthammol (ammonium bituminosulfonate) mixed with sticky, adhesive components to help dressings stay in place — especially in challenging areas or on mobile joints.

Recognised for its gentle adhesion and soothing properties, Ichthopaste is widely used by clinicians to enhance dressing retention and comfort.

Why Choose Ichthopaste?

Ichthopaste formulations combine gentle adhesion with skin-friendly performance, making them useful when conventional tapes or bandages aren’t sufficient.
