Made from a gentle, crepe-style paper backing and a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive. Non-woven/paper tape construction provides porosity and breathability. Non-sterile. Latex-free formulation suitable for people with latex sensitivities.
How to Use
1. Clean and dry the skin around the wound or device. 2. Cut or tear the required length of tape. 3. Apply tape smoothly over the dressing or device, avoiding excessive tension. 4. To remove, peel back slowly and gently, holding the skin taut and removing parallel to the skin surface to minimise discomfort. For securing tubing or catheters, use strips that leave mobility and minimize skin strain.
