15 Reasons to Choose Steroplast's Microporous Tape
What is Microporous Tape Used For?
There are many microporous tape uses across the healthcare sector. Nurses and doctors commonly use microporous paper surgical tape to secure dressings and bandages to a patient’s skin. The microporous tape’s breathable material makes it comfortable to wear with a skin-friendly adhesive that can be easily removed when required.
Along with regular use across wound care treatments, microporous tape is useful for holding catheters and drips in place securely.
Some patients use microporous tape to aid in the healing of surgical scars as part of their post-operative healing. Applied over a healing wound area, microporous tape can provide tension over the damaged skin and tissue, promoting healing and reducing the risk of developing problematic scarring over time. Always seek professional medical advice before using microporous tape during recovery from surgery.
