Indications:

Partners Hypoallergenic Surgical Tape is used primarily for:

1. Securing Dressings: To hold gauze pads, wound dressings, and bandages in place after surgery or injury.

2. Wound Protection: Helps to cover and protect minor cuts, abrasions, and surgical wounds from external contaminants and bacteria.

3. Preventing Displacement: Used in conjunction with dressings and other wound care products to prevent movement or displacement, ensuring optimal healing.

4. Securing Catheters or Tubes: For use in securing medical devices such as catheters, IVs, and drainage tubes.

5. Sensitive Skin Use: Ideal for patients with sensitive or delicate skin, as it minimizes irritation and discomfort.

Dosage and Usage:

1. Application:

   • Clean and prepare the area where the tape will be applied.

   • Cut or tear an appropriate length of the tape and apply it gently to secure the dressing or bandage in place.

   • Press firmly to ensure full adhesion, making sure the tape does not cause discomfort to the patient.

2. Removal: When it is time to remove the tape, carefully peel it off the skin to avoid irritation. If adhesive residue is left on the skin, it can be gently cleaned with water or a skin-safe remover.

3. Frequency of Use: Surgical tape is usually applied when dressings need to be changed or when securing medical equipment, such as tubes or bandages, in place. Reapply as necessary, ensuring the tape remains securely attached to the skin.

Side Effects:

Although Partners Hypoallergenic Surgical Tape is designed to be gentle on the skin, certain side effects may occur in some individuals:

1. Skin Irritation: Some individuals may still experience mild irritation or redness, especially if the tape is left on for extended periods.

2. Allergic Reactions: Although hypoallergenic, rare cases of allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, or swelling) may still occur. If this happens, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

3. Skin Sensitivity: In patients with very sensitive skin, the adhesive may cause temporary redness or discomfort, particularly when removing the tape.

4. Infection Risk: If the tape is applied improperly or if the wound is not sufficiently cleaned, there is a slight risk of infection in the area being taped.

Contraindications:

1. Known Allergies to Adhesives: If the patient has a known sensitivity or allergy to adhesives (even hypoallergenic versions), this tape should not be used.

2. Open or Severe Wounds: The tape should not be applied to open, weeping, or severely infected wounds. For severe wounds, consult a healthcare provider for proper wound care.

3. Skin Conditions: People with skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis may experience discomfort or adverse reactions. Consult a healthcare provider before use.

4. Eyes and Mucous Membranes: The tape should not be applied near the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes as it could cause irritation or damage to sensitive areas.

Warnings and Precautions:

1. Do Not Over-Stretch: When applying the tape, avoid stretching it too tightly, as this could cause discomfort or restrict blood circulation.

2. Monitor for Skin Reactions: Regularly check the area where the tape is applied for signs of irritation or allergic reactions, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin.

3. Use for Intended Purposes Only: This tape is designed for medical use and should be used solely for securing dressings, bandages, or medical devices. Avoid using it for other purposes.

4. Keep Away from Moisture: Although breathable, avoid applying the tape to excessively moist or wet areas, as moisture may reduce its adhesion.

5. Remove Gently: When it is time to remove the tape, do so slowly and carefully to prevent skin damage, especially in sensitive or delicate skin areas.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Keep the tape sealed in its packaging until ready for use to maintain its adhesive properties.
