Reason of use

Wound Dressing & Cannula Fixation

Used to securely fix wound dressings, gauze pads, and IV cannulas to the skin. The smooth silk-like backing and zinc oxide adhesive provide gentle yet firm adhesion without causing skin trauma, making it suitable for sensitive and paediatric skin.

General Medical Taping

Used for general-purpose medical taping needs including securing tubes, catheters, electrodes, and monitoring leads. The soft, conformable backing adapts to body contours and curved surfaces for comfortable and reliable fixation.

Post-Operative & Wound Care

Used in post-operative wound care to cover and protect surgical sites, secure dressings, and provide gentle compression. The breathable backing supports wound healing while maintaining secure dressing position during patient movement.
