Medical tape is one of the most frequently used consumables in healthcare settings, yet choosing the wrong type can lead to skin irritation, poor adhesion, or inadequate wound protection.
Silk Tape: Soft, cloth-like backing with excellent conformability. Ideal for securing dressings on curved body areas and sensitive skin.
Paper Tape (Micropore): Gentle, breathable, and hypoallergenic. Tears easily by hand, leaves minimal adhesive residue. Best for frequent dressing changes and fragile skin.
PE Medical Tape: Waterproof, transparent, strong adhesion. Ideal for IV catheter securement and moisture protection.
Zinc Oxide Tape: Rigid support with strong adhesion. The zinc oxide adhesive has mild antiseptic properties. Best for sports taping and joint immobilization.
Surgical Tape: Strong, durable backing for post-operative wound closure and heavy dressings.
