mikropore

Mikropore is a brand of medical tape, specifically a microporous surgical paper tape. It is commonly used in healthcare settings for securing bandages, dressings, and other medical devices to the skin. The tape is characterized by its small, porous structure, which allows air and moisture to pass through. This breathability helps to prevent skin maceration and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin or long-term wear.

The tape is hypoallergenic and latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Its adhesive is designed to provide a secure hold without causing damage to the skin upon removal. Mikropore tape is typically white and comes in various widths. It is often used in post-operative wound care, for securing tubing, or for supporting delicate skin areas. Its gentle nature makes it a popular choice for patients of all ages, including infants and the elderly. The disposable nature of the tape ensures hygiene and prevents cross-contamination.
