More Information

Usage Tips:
- Tape should be applied without tension to clean, dry skin
- A clipper may be used to remove hair, if necessary
- To protect at-risk skin, 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film may be applied and when thoroughly dry, tape may be applied over it
- In general, do not encircle a limb completely with tape
- If distention is anticipated, use a tape that stretches or a self-adherent wrap to secure the dressing or tubing
Tape Application Instructions:
General Taping:
- Apply the tape without tension, gently but firmly stroking the surface to maximize adhesion
- Tape should extend at least one-half inch beyond the dressing
- Tape should not be pulled or stretched when applied
- If swelling does occur, loosen and re-fasten or replace tape to relieve the tension
When Compression is Needed:
- Place first section of tape without tension onto skin on one side of the dressing, gently pressing downward
- With one hand, secure tape on one edge of the dressing while slightly stretching next section of tape over the dressing
- Secure tape on opposite edge of the dressing
- Press remaining tape onto skin without tension
- Compression should come from the multiple layers of dressing material, not from excessive tension in the tape
- Skin distention under tape may result in blistering and should be relieved as soon as possible
Tape Removal Instructions:
- Loosen edges of tape
- If necessary, press a small piece of tape onto a corner to start an edge of the tape
- Stabilize the skin with one finger
- Remove tape "low and slow" in direction of hair growth, keeping it close to skin surface and pulled back over itself
- Removing tape at an angle will pull at the epidermis increasing risk of mechanical trauma
- As tape is removed, continue supporting newly exposed skin
