Leukoplast Standard Zinc Oxide Tape Red Spool 5m

General Information

Leukoplast Standard Tape is a rigid, tan zinc oxide tape from Essity (BSN medical) on the familiar red spool. It is a general-purpose tape for securing dressings and for heavy-duty or rough work, holding firm in wet and dirty conditions while still allowing the skin to breathe.

Key Benefits

• Strong, long-lasting adhesion that stays secure under strain
• Waterproof and dirt-repellent for wet or rough conditions
• Porous – permeable to air and water vapour to help prevent skin maceration
• High tensile strength yet easy to tear by hand
• Adhesive designed for extended wear and well tolerated by normal skin

Ingredients

Rigid tan tape with zinc oxide adhesive, supplied on a rigid red plastic spool with snap ring. Backing material and latex status are not stated by the sources consulted.

Directions

Make sure the skin is clean and dry and free of oils, creams or lotions. Tear the required length from the roll by hand. Apply without stretching or tension over the dressing or device, pressing down firmly so the tape sticks evenly to the surrounding skin. To remove, peel back slowly in the direction of hair growth while supporting the skin.

Warnings

For external use only. Apply to normal, intact skin around the wound or dressing – do not apply tape directly onto open or infected wounds. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the components. If redness, itching or irritation occurs, remove and discontinue use. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Always read the label and use only as directed.
