Common applications include securing wound dressings, catheters, IV lines, and splints, as well as supporting compression wraps and other medical bandages where moisture resistance is critical.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application for optimal adhesion. Cut or tear the tape to the desired length and apply with firm, even pressure. Avoid stretching the tape excessively to prevent skin irritation. Remove gently by supporting the skin and pulling slowly back over itself. Dispose of the tape after single use and follow facility guidelines for medical waste handling.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the tape in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Do not expose the tape to excessive heat, as this may affect adhesive performance.
