Why medical tape matters

Build trust with patients

It isn’t uncommon to hear the story of the pediatric cancer patient who tells their parents they’d rather be poked with a needle than have tape removed from their skin to access a port. Patient experiences like this are all too common and chip away at the foundation of patient trust – faith in their clinician’s ability to diligently care for them without causing harm. A patient's experience is important when it comes to tape.

Create better patient outcomes

Protecting patients from negative tape-related outcomes requires a comprehensive framework, which should include proper adhesive selection and safe adhesive securement to the skin.

Select the right tape for the job

The science of skin management and sticking-to-skin is multifaceted and needs to be considered when selecting tape. Keeping in mind intended use, wear time and ambient conditions present on site are critical factors when selecting a tape.
