Dukal P15 - Paper Tape 1" x 1.5 yd, 100/BX, 5 BX/CS
The Dukal P15 Paper Tape is a lightweight, breathable medical adhesive tape designed for gentle and secure fixation of dressings, gauze, and bandages. Measuring 1 inch by 1.5 yards, each roll provides dependable adhesion while remaining easy to tear and apply. The paper construction allows the skin to breathe, making it suitable for patients with sensitive or delicate skin. Packaged as 100 rolls per box and 5 boxes per case, it supports both daily clinical workflows and efficient supply room stocking.
Key Benefits
The gentle adhesive reduces the risk of skin irritation, especially during repeated dressing changes. The tape conforms easily to different body contours, promoting secure placement without discomfort. Its breathable design supports proper airflow around the application site, helping maintain skin integrity. The easy-tear capability saves time and eliminates the need for scissors in fast-paced clinical environments.
Compatibility and Applications
This paper tape works well with standard medical dressings, gauze pads, and wound care materials. It is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare settings. Applications include securing light wound dressings, IV tubing stabilization, and protecting areas requiring frequent dressing inspection or change.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application for best adhesion. Gently tear the tape to the desired length and apply with light pressure to secure. Replace the tape if it becomes damp, soiled, or loose. Avoid excessive stretching during application to maintain comfort and prevent skin stress. Dispose after single use according to facility protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal P15 Paper Tape is produced under medical-grade manufacturing and quality standards. It is latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Relevant regulatory and compliance details can be verified on the product packaging and manufacturer documentation to ensure suitability for clinical use.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to more aggressive adhesive tapes, this paper tape is designed specifically for gentle adhesion, making it ideal for patients with fragile or frequently dressed skin. Its easy-tear design improves workflow efficiency over plastic or cloth tapes that require cutting tools. The bulk packaging also provides cost efficiency and ideal stock levels for facilities with repeated daily usage.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include nurses, wound care specialists, caregivers, and home health providers. It is especially useful in postoperative care, chronic wound management, pediatric care, and geriatric settings where skin sensitivity is a priority. The tape supports routine dressing maintenance with minimal patient discomfort.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct heat or moisture. Avoid applying over lotions or damp skin, as this may reduce adhesion. Replace tape that has absorbed moisture or contaminants. Do not reuse. Monitor the skin beneath the tape during repeated applications to help maintain skin health.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For external use only. Do not apply to open wounds without an appropriate primary dressing. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Follow facility and local healthcare regulations regarding adhesive tape selection and application.
