• Ideal uses include securing wound dressings, tubing and catheters and with sensitive or at-risk skin

Taping Instructions:

Start with clean, dry skin. The tape sticks best to clean, dry surfaces so try to minimize moist conditions as much as possible. Touch the sticky surface of the tape as little as possible. Place the tape without tension onto the skin. Encircling a limb completely with tape may become hazardous to blood flow. The adhesive on the surgical tape is "pressure sensitive" meaning it's designed to adhere best when gentle, but firm, finger or hand pressure is applied rubbing the tape into place. Your skin has bumps, Even smooth skin has peaks and valleys. Laying a piece of tape on the skin without applying any pressure only provides a superficial adherence at best. Usually, the stickier the tape, the less pressure you should need. Gentle strokes along the tape allows the adhesive to be exposed to more of the skin surface.
