Material:

Micropore tape is typically made of a thin, non-woven fabric or paper-like material. It is porous, allowing air and moisture to pass through, which helps to maintain the health of the skin.

Adhesive:

The tape features a gentle adhesive on one side, which provides secure adhesion without causing skin irritation or damage upon removal. The adhesive is usually latex-free to minimize the risk of allergic reactions.

Breathability:

The microporous nature of the tape allows air to circulate through the skin, helping to reduce the risk of maceration (softening or breakdown of the skin due to excessive moisture).

Ease of use:

Micropore tape is easy to tear by hand, making it convenient to cut the desired length without the need for scissors.

Application:

It is commonly used for securing lightweight dressings, particularly on delicate or sensitive areas such as the face, as well as for securing tubes or medical devices. It can also be used to hold wound edges together or for minor wound closures.

Removal:

Micropore tape is generally designed for easy removal without causing discomfort or trauma to the skin. It is advisable to pull the tape gently and parallel to the skin to minimize any potential discomfort
