Omnifilm transparent adhesive tape is a pressure-sensitive polymeric adhesive, which is very convenient for attaching central venous access devices, as well as for holding gauze and bandages. It can hold the device or gauze in place for 24 hours or up to 48 hours if required.
Easily detaches from the skin when pulled without damaging the skin or leaving glue residue. It has the ability to repel impurities and bacteria, making it sterile, which is necessary to maintain the health of skin that has undergone surgery or has wounds and burns. In addition, it is easy to tear, which can be done by hand, either crosswise or horizontally.
The back is microporous in order to facilitate the evaporation of moisture that accumulates between the skin and the covering piece. This is especially functional for the dressing of wounds and burns, as it allows the gaseous exchange necessary for the health of the skin.
On the other hand, it is possible to observe the condition of the skin or fluids being passed through the central venous access devices. This is very convenient when examining their condition.
It is suitable for use in emergency rooms, as it is easy to cut and attach to the skin. In operating theatres, it is used to immobilise measuring devices, as it allows the condition of the skin to be observed and helps to keep the device secure.
Hartmann has therefore developed the transparent Omnifilm tape, which helps to keep everything from gauze pads to measuring devices attached to the skin. In addition to being easy to stick and remove, it is suitable for fragile skin, comfortable and sterile.
