SILTAPE SOFT SILICONE PERFORATED TAPE 2CM X 3M - 2CM X 3M

Siltape Soft Silicone Tape

Description:

Siltape is made from soft silicone, which is gentle on the skin, particularly useful for patients with very thin, friable skin that is vulnerable to damage. Silicone does not cell strip in the same way that other adhesives may damage tissue.

Applications:

Siltape can be used in any situation where a regular adhesive tape would be used, especially where friable or sensitive skin is an issue.

Key Uses:

• Taping down eyelids for theatre (less painful than glue-based tapes)
• Securing IV lines and fistula needles (repositionable with no loss of adherence)
• Covering small incision sites (e.g., biopsies) without harming the wound
• Protecting friable tissue from pressure damage or sores from tubing (especially on the face and tops of ears)

Indications:

• Holding dressings in place
• Taping down eyelids (in theatre)
• Securing IV lines
• Over small incision sites
• Under oxygen masks
• Securing fistula needles
• Protection from pressure damage or sores from tubing

Contraindications:

Do not use if allergic to silicone.

Features:

• Atraumatic soft silicone, reducing pain on change, adjustment, or removal
• Soft and conformable
• Adheres only to dry skin, not to a moist wound
• Easily adjustable with no loss of adherence
