Dukal AT2316 - Waterproof Tape, 1/2" x 5 yd, 24/BX, 18 BX/CS
The Dukal AT2316 Tech-Med Waterproof Tape is a durable, medical-grade adhesive tape designed for secure fixation in environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Each roll measures 1/2 inch by 5 yards, providing versatile length and width suitable for various clinical and first-aid applications. The waterproof backing ensures long-lasting adhesion even when exposed to fluids, making it ideal for wound care, surgical use, and general patient care.
Key Benefits
This waterproof tape offers strong adhesion that resists loosening under wet conditions. The smooth, flexible design conforms easily to body contours, allowing comfortable and secure application. It tears cleanly by hand, saving time during use. The non-irritating adhesive minimizes the risk of skin sensitivity, while the waterproof properties help maintain dressing integrity and patient comfort throughout extended wear.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal AT2316 Tape is compatible with standard medical dressings, bandages, and tubing setups. It is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient centers, emergency rooms, and home care environments. Applications include securing dressings over wounds, stabilizing IV tubing, and protecting areas that require moisture-resistant coverage.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Cut or tear the desired length of tape and apply it with firm, even pressure. Avoid excessive tension to prevent skin irritation. Remove gently by pulling back over itself rather than straight away from the skin. Dispose of used tape according to healthcare facility protocols.
