Clinipore Surgical Tape

About Clinipore Surgical Tape

Clinipore Surgical Tape is a professional-grade, hypoallergenic non-woven paper tape designed for secure and gentle fixation of medical dressings. It is specifically engineered for individuals with sensitive skin, including children and the elderly. The tape features a high-quality polyacrylic adhesive that provides a strong hold while ensuring virtually painless removal, minimizing skin trauma and irritation.

This surgical tape is highly breathable, being permeable to both air and water vapour. This allows the skin to breathe underneath the dressing, which helps maintain skin integrity and prevents maceration during extended wear. Clinipore is a versatile first-aid essential, suitable for securing dressings, medical devices, and tubing in both clinical and home environments.

Clinipore Surgical Tape is available in a wide format for larger dressings:

• Clinipore Surgical Tape – 5cm x 5m

What Is Clinipore Surgical Tape Used For?

Clinipore Surgical Tape is used to provide secure fixation for larger wound dressings, swabs, and medical tubing. Because it is breathable and hypoallergenic, it is the ideal choice for long-term dressing applications where skin health and comfort are priorities. It helps prevent skin irritation while ensuring that dressings remain in place during movement.

Who Is Clinipore Surgical Tape Suitable For?

Clinipore is suitable for all age groups, including infants and the elderly. Its gentle adhesive is specifically formulated for those with fragile or sensitive skin.

Do not use Clinipore Surgical Tape if you:

• Have a known allergy to polyacrylic adhesives
• Have an allergy to non-woven synthetic paper materials

Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you:

• Are using the tape on a deep or infected wound
• Have a severe skin condition in the application area
• Experience persistent redness or skin breakdown after use

How to Use Clinipore Surgical Tape

1. Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions.
2. Measure and cut the desired length of tape (5cm width is ideal for broader coverage).
3. Place the tape over the dressing, ensuring it overlaps onto the healthy skin by at least 1-2cm.
4. Smooth the tape down firmly with your fingers; the heat from your hand helps activate the adhesive.
5. To remove, slowly lift one edge and peel the tape back parallel to the skin.

Possible Side Effects of Clinipore Surgical Tape

While Clinipore is hypoallergenic, some users may experience:

• Mild redness at the site of application
• Slight itching or irritation upon removal

If you notice a severe rash, blistering, or persistent inflammation, discontinue use immediately and consult a pharmacist or doctor.

Warnings and Precautions

• For external use only.
• Do not apply the tape under tension (stretching), as this can cause skin shearing or blistering.
• Check the taped area regularly for signs of irritation.
• Ensure the skin is completely dry before application to prevent the tape from peeling off.

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
• Keep the roll clean to maintain adhesive integrity.
