Healthpore (12 X 2.5Cm(1") X 9Mtr) Micropore Paper Tape By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Micropore paper tape is used to secure wound dressings, gauze, bandages and some medical tubing to the skin. It helps keep the dressing in place but does not treat the wound itself.

How does it work?
Its adhesive backing sticks to the skin and holds the dressing or tubing securely. The paper material allows some air to reach the skin.

How to take/use it
Apply to clean, dry skin over or around the dressing. Press the tape gently to secure it without wrapping it too tightly. Change or remove it as directed for the dressing, and remove it slowly to reduce skin discomfort.

Common side effects
Temporary redness, itching, irritation or discomfort when the tape is removed. Repeated use may cause skin sensitivity or peeling.

Precautions
Do not use if there is a known allergy or sensitivity to adhesive tape. Avoid applying over severely damaged skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. Stop using it if significant irritation, swelling or a rash develops. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth.
