Healthpore (4 X 7.5Cm(3") X 9Mtr) Micropore Paper Tape By Martin & Brown

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

How does it work?
Its pressure-sensitive adhesive sticks to the skin and the dressing or tubing, helping hold them securely in place.

How to take/use it
Apply the tape to clean, dry skin around the dressing. Use only enough to hold the dressing securely and avoid wrapping it too tightly. Remove gently, preferably in the direction of hair growth, and follow the instructions for changing the dressing.

Common side effects
Redness, itching, irritation or soreness where the tape is applied. Repeated removal may cause skin peeling or damage.

Precautions
Do not apply over a wound unless specifically instructed; use it to secure a dressing. Avoid applying to irritated, infected or damaged skin. Stop using it if a rash, swelling or severe irritation develops. People with sensitive skin should use it cautiously and remove it gently.
