Omnipor Paper Hypoallergenic Tape is a surgical adhesive for use on sensitive skin, as it is made of hypoallergenic material and leaves no residue when removed. For this purpose, Omnipor has used non-woven fabric made of cellulose which has the ability to repel water.
The adhesive part is made of synthetic rubber, a material that is highly resistant to deterioration caused by heat and humidity on the skin. In addition, it is microporous to allow air to pass through, which helps to keep the covered area cool, thus helping to prevent skin maceration.
It peels off easily when pulled firmly without causing pain or leaving residue. In this way, removal is flawless and painless, a feature that sensitive skin is very grateful for. This is to make wound healing and the application of treatments such as facial dressings more comfortable.
It is lint-free and does not disintegrate easily due to the compact nature, strength and durability of the non-woven, which promotes the asepsis necessary to prevent infection.
Its use in laboratories, emergency and operating rooms is practical because it tears with the hands and does not absorb x-rays. This allows for quick action and helps to reduce the risk of errors.
The soft texture of this tape is skin-friendly and provides support for the application of cannulae, catheters, probes and IVs. These devices can also remain in place for long periods of time, which is why their strength and sterile capabilities help to provide the necessary care to the treated area.
The ability to repel water and leave no residue, its permeability, its comfort and the practical way to use it by tearing it with the hands make this adhesive tape a very useful adhesive material in the first aid kit.
