Silk Tape

Silk tape is a type of medical adhesive tape characterized by its smooth, non-woven fabric backing, which provides strength and flexibility while remaining gentle on the skin. The tape is made with a silk-like synthetic or blended material, offering a soft texture that minimizes irritation, making it suitable for sensitive or delicate skin. It features a hypoallergenic adhesive that ensures secure attachment of dressings, wound care materials, or medical devices without causing excessive trauma upon removal.

Due to its porous design, silk tape allows airflow to the skin, reducing the risk of moisture buildup and promoting faster healing. It is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and first aid settings for securing gauze, IV lines, and tubing, as well as for light orthopedic support. The tape is available in various widths and can be easily torn by hand for quick application. Its balanced adhesion makes it ideal for both short-term and extended wear, providing reliable hold while maintaining patient comfort. Additionally, silk tape is often latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions, and can be used on patients of all ages, including children and the elderly.
