​Medical adhesive tapes are essential for securing medical devices such as tubes, catheters, lines, gauzes, and gauze rolls. Made from materials like fabric, paper, plastic, and silicone, these tapes offer varying levels of flexibility, breathability, and adhesive strength. Silicone tapes, in particular, are gentle on the skin and ideal for patients with sensitive skin. These tapes are often hypoallergenic to minimize skin irritation and come in various widths and lengths to meet different medical needs. Many are also water-resistant or waterproof, ensuring reliable adhesion even in moist conditions. Proper application and regular monitoring are essential to prevent device displacement and ensure patient safety.
