Is Safe & Sound Microporous Tape waterproof?

While Safe & Sound Microporous Tape is breathable, it is not waterproof. It's designed to allow air circulation, which means it may not provide a barrier against water. For activities involving water exposure, a waterproof tape or dressing might be more suitable.

Can Safe & Sound Microporous Tape be used on all skin types?

Safe & Sound Microporous Tape is formulated with a low-allergy, latex-free adhesive, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have a history of skin reactions to adhesives, it's advisable to perform a small patch test before full application.

How long can I leave Safe & Sound Microporous Tape on?

The duration for which you can leave Safe & Sound Microporous Tape on depends on the nature of the wound and your healthcare provider's instructions. Generally, it can be left on for several days, but it's important to change the dressing and tape regularly to maintain hygiene and monitor the wound's healing progress.

Is Safe & Sound Microporous Tape easy to remove?

Safe & Sound Microporous Tape is designed to provide secure adhesion while still being relatively easy to remove. To minimise discomfort and potential skin damage, it's best to remove the tape slowly and carefully, pulling it parallel to the skin rather than straight up.
