Keeping a dressing clean and dry is essential for fast healing and preventing infections. This tape provides a long-lasting protective barrier that does not peel off when in contact with water or sweat. Unlike microporous or paper tapes, it is designed for demanding environments and for patients who must maintain the integrity of their bandage during prolonged exposure to moisture or frequent joint movements. Its 1-inch width offers a larger contact surface for an even more stable hold.
Total Waterproofing: Seals the dressing against water, sweat, and ambient humidity.
Superior Adhesion: Stays firmly in place on skin or bandages, even during repeated movements.
Robust Plastic Backing: Offers excellent resistance to tearing and friction compared to standard tapes.
Versatile Format: Its 1-inch width is ideal for covering larger areas or securing bulky bandages.
Hygienic Finish: The smooth surface repels dirt, dust, and external debris.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the skin where you will apply the tape is clean and dry. If necessary, wipe it with a cloth to remove any dirt.
Measure and Cut: Unroll the required length and cut it. You can easily tear it by hand or use scissors for more precision.
Apply the Tape: Place the tape on the surface or bandage, pressing firmly to activate the adhesive and ensure a good grip.
Smooth the Edges: Run your fingers along the edges of the tape to remove air bubbles and guarantee a waterproof seal.
To preserve the adhesive properties, store the tape in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this could alter the quality of the plastic adhesive.
This tape is a "must-have" for first aid kits because it can be used to secure light splints or stabilize pressure dressings that must stay in place despite heavy sweating. For optimal protection, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with sterile gauze pads or Telfa non-adherent pads to prevent the adhesive from directly touching the wound.
It is recommended to check the specific packaging, but this model is generally designed to be hypoallergenic and is suitable for most skin types.
Yes, this is one of its primary uses. Its adhesion is designed to withstand immersion, although you must ensure the edges are perfectly smoothed down during application.
Like any high-adhesion tape, a slight residue may remain. It can be easily removed with a bit of soapy water or an alcohol swab.
