Surgical Tapes

Surgical tapes are used to secure dressings and bandages to the skin. They help protect wounds, keep dressings in place, and prevent infections. You can choose from various materials like paper, cloth, or plastic depending on your skin type and sensitivity.

Choosing the right surgical tape depends on your skin type and the area of application. Consider factors such as adhesive strength, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties. If you have sensitive skin, look for tapes that are gentle and designed to minimize irritation.

Some surgical tapes are waterproof, designed to stay in place even when exposed to moisture. Waterproof options are ideal for areas prone to getting wet or for use during activities that involve water exposure. Always check the product description to confirm this feature.

Surgical tapes are generally intended for single-use only. Reusing them can compromise their adhesive properties and hygiene standards. For optimal results and safety, always use a fresh piece of tape when changing dressings or bandages.

Medical tape is a broad category that includes various types of adhesive tapes used in healthcare settings. Surgical tape is a specific type of medical tape designed specifically for securing dressings after surgery. It often has stronger adhesive properties suitable for post-operative care.
