Frequently asked questions

Does medical tape contain latex?
Most medical tapes are now made without latex to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. However, some older or specialist tapes may still contain latex. Always check the product label if you have a latex allergy. Our medical tapes are clearly marked and safe for sensitive skin.
How does medical tape work?
Medical tape works by gently holding dressings, bandages, or devices in place on the skin. It sticks securely but is designed to be removed without causing pain or damage. The adhesive bonds to the skin while allowing some movement and breathability.
What does medical tape do?
Medical tape keeps dressings and bandages in position, protecting wounds and supporting injuries. It can also be used to secure tubing, splints, or other medical equipment. Its main role is to provide stability while keeping the skin clean and protected.
What is medical tape?
Medical tape is a type of adhesive tape made for use on the skin. It is designed to hold dressings, bandages, or medical devices in place safely. Medical tape comes in different materials, widths, and strengths to suit a variety of medical needs.
Can medical tape get wet?
Some medical tapes are water-resistant, meaning they can stay in place even if they get damp. Others are not designed to withstand moisture and may lose adhesion when wet. Always check the product details to choose the right tape for your needs.
