High-Quality Microporous Surgical Paper Tape

Our Surgical Paper Tape Microporous (12.5mm x 5m) is a soft, lightweight adhesive tape engineered for the gentle yet effective fixation of dressings, bandages, and medical devices. Constructed from high-quality microporous paper, this tape promotes skin breathability, significantly reducing the risk of moisture buildup and skin irritation.

The hypoallergenic adhesive ensures a secure hold while allowing for painless removal, which is essential for patients requiring frequent dressing changes. The narrow 12.5mm width is specifically designed for precision, allowing for accurate placement on smaller areas or where minimal coverage is required to prevent skin maceration.
