Medisilk Silk Tape is ideal for the fixation of dressing pads and medical devices. This is a silk finished, non-stretch, water repellent, tape with a strong, hypoallergenic adhesive. The porous hypoallergenic tape makes it ideal for use on patients with sensitive skin, as it allows the skin to breath through it. Silk tape can be used as a base layer for sports strapping, or as a first aid tape to fix and retain dressings. It can also serve as a non-latex alternative to zinc oxide tape.
