leukoplast

Leukoplast is a brand name for a type of surgical tape manufactured by Essity, a Swedish hygiene and health company. These tapes are commonly used in medical settings to secure bandages, dressings, or medical devices to the skin. Leukoplasts are typically made from a strong, durable fabric that provides excellent adhesion and is often water-resistant. The adhesive used is designed to be skin-friendly yet hold firmly, making it suitable for extended wear and in situations where movement or moisture might compromise less robust tapes. They are available in various widths and lengths to accommodate different applications. The primary function of leukoplast is to provide reliable wound protection and support by keeping dressings in place, preventing contamination, and aiding the healing process. Its robustness makes it a popular choice for surgical sites, long-term wound care, and sports-related applications where tape security is paramount.
