What is Leukopor Tape?

Leukopor Tape is a soft, white, hypoallergenic surgical tape made from non-woven polyester, designed to secure dressings, bandages, and medical devices to the skin without causing irritation. Its gentle adhesive is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, making it ideal for patients with fragile or compromised skin. Available in various widths, Leukopor Tape is versatile and can be used in a wide range of medical and home care applications.

Key Features of Leukopor Tape

• Hypoallergenic and Gentle on Skin: Leukopor Tape is designed with a gentle, skin-friendly adhesive that minimises the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation. It is suitable for long-term use on sensitive or compromised skin, making it an excellent choice for patients who require frequent dressing changes.
• Breathable and Comfortable: The non-woven polyester material of Leukopor Tape is highly breathable, allowing air to circulate around the wound or dressing. This breathability helps to prevent maceration and keeps the skin comfortable, even during extended wear.
• Reliable Adhesion: Despite its gentle nature, Leukopor Tape offers reliable adhesion that ensures dressings and medical devices stay securely in place. The tape adheres well to both skin and dressings, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
• Easy to Apply and Remove: Leukopor Tape is easy to handle, with a smooth, tearable design that allows for quick and hassle-free application. It can be easily removed without causing pain or damage to the skin, making dressing changes more comfortable for patients.
• Versatile Sizing: Available in various widths, Leukopor Tape can be tailored to suit different needs, from securing small dressings to larger bandages. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any medical kit, whether in a clinical setting or at home.
• Non-Woven Material: The soft, non-woven material is not only comfortable against the skin but also ensures that the tape is flexible and conforms to the body’s natural contours, providing a secure fit even on challenging areas.

Who Can Benefit from Leukopor Tape?

Leukopor Tape is an ideal solution for a wide range of users, particularly those with sensitive or fragile skin:

• Dermatologists: For dermatologists, Leukopor Tape is an excellent choice for securing dressings after procedures or on patients with sensitive skin. Its hypoallergenic properties reduce the risk of irritation, making it suitable for use after dermatological treatments.
• Nurses and General Practitioners: In general practice and nursing, Leukopor Tape is a go-to option for securing dressings and devices on patients with sensitive skin. Its gentle adhesive is ideal for elderly patients or those with fragile skin, ensuring comfort and safety.
• Home Care Providers: For caregivers providing wound care at home, Leukopor Tape offers a gentle and effective solution for managing dressings. Its ease of use and comfortable wear make it a practical choice for long-term care.
• Patients: Patients who manage their own wound care will appreciate the comfort and reliability of Leukopor Tape. Its hypoallergenic design ensures that it can be used safely on sensitive skin, making it a dependable choice for ongoing care.

How to Use Leukopor Tape

Using Leukopor Tape is straightforward and designed to be as gentle as possible:

1. Clean and dry the skin thoroughly before applying the tape. Ensure that the skin is free from oils or lotions, which can affect adhesion.
2. Select the appropriate width of Leukopor Tape and cut it to the desired length. Tear the tape smoothly along the perforated edges for a clean finish.
3. Apply the tape gently to the skin, ensuring that it covers the edges of the dressing or secures the medical device without causing tension on the skin.
4. Smooth the tape down carefully, making sure there are no wrinkles or air bubbles. This will ensure a secure fit and reduce the risk of the tape lifting.
5. When it is time to change the dressing or remove the tape, gently lift one corner and peel it back slowly, following the direction of hair growth to minimise discomfort.

If there is any adhesive residue left on the skin after removal, it can be easily cleaned off with soap and water or an appropriate adhesive remover.

Leukopor Tape is the preferred choice for healthcare professionals and individuals who require a gentle, hypoallergenic solution for securing dressings and medical devices. Its combination of soft, breathable material and reliable adhesion makes it suitable for all types of skin, including sensitive and fragile skin. Whether you are managing wound care in a clinical setting or at home, Leukopor Tape provides the comfort and security you need.
