About the Patex Brand
Launched in 1966, Patex revolutionized pain relief by introducing a patch form at a time when the norm was to cover injured areas with gauze and ointment. Its user-friendly design quickly garnered popularity, leading to its widespread acceptance. The name 'Patex' is derived from the term for paste, reflecting the innovative formulation that adheres effectively to non-woven fabric.
In 2009, the brand further showcased its commitment to innovation with the release of the ultra-thin Patex Usupita Patch, catering to the needs of consumers for generations.
