Medline Premium Porous Cotton Cloth Tape 1" x 10 Yards - Breathable Medical Adhesive Tape with Hand-Tear Edge

Premium Porous Cotton Cloth Tape for Superior Wound Care and Securement

Engineered with healthcare professionals in mind, this premium porous cotton cloth tape delivers exceptional performance for securing dressings, catheters, tubing, and medical devices while promoting optimal skin health and patient comfort. The advanced porous cotton construction allows air and moisture to circulate freely through the tape, creating an ideal healing environment that reduces the risk of maceration, skin irritation, and adhesive-related complications during extended wear periods.

Breathable Porous Cotton Construction for Skin Health

Crafted from high-quality porous cotton cloth, this medical tape features a unique breathable design that allows the skin to breathe naturally while maintaining secure adhesion. The porous structure facilitates continuous air exchange and moisture vapor transmission, preventing the buildup of perspiration and exudate that can lead to skin maceration, breakdown, and infection. This breathability is particularly critical for patients requiring long-term dressing changes, extended catheter securement, or those with compromised skin integrity who are at elevated risk for pressure injuries and moisture-associated skin damage.

Strong Yet Gentle Adhesive Technology

The tape's advanced adhesive formulation provides robust, long-lasting hold that keeps dressings, catheters, IV lines, and tubing securely in place even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient movement, perspiration, and environmental humidity. Despite its impressive holding power, the adhesive remains remarkably gentle on delicate skin, making it an ideal choice for pediatric patients, elderly individuals with fragile skin, and patients with known sensitivities or allergies to aggressive adhesives. The balanced adhesive strength ensures reliable securement without causing trauma, pain, or skin stripping during removal.

Convenient Hand-Tear Design with Serrated Edges

The innovative serrated edge design allows healthcare providers to tear the tape cleanly and easily by hand, eliminating the need for scissors and streamlining application during busy clinical workflows. This hand-tear feature significantly improves efficiency during dressing changes, emergency situations, and bedside procedures where quick access to scissors may not be practical or safe. The clean, controlled tear prevents fraying and ensures precise sizing for every application, reducing waste and improving the professional appearance of dressings and securement.

Versatile 1 Inch x 10 Yard Dimensions

The practical 1-inch width provides optimal coverage for a wide range of medical applications, from securing small dressings and IV catheters to stabilizing feeding tubes and drainage devices. The generous 10-yard length ensures extended use from a single roll, reducing the frequency of roll changes and providing excellent value for high-volume healthcare facilities. This versatile sizing accommodates diverse clinical needs across multiple departments and care settings.

Durable Yet Comfortable for Extended Wear

The robust cotton cloth construction delivers exceptional durability that withstands the rigors of patient movement, daily activities, and routine care procedures without tearing, lifting, or losing adhesion. Simultaneously, the soft, flexible material conforms comfortably to body contours and moves naturally with the patient, reducing the discomfort, restriction, and skin irritation often associated with less sophisticated tapes. This combination of durability and comfort makes the tape suitable for both short-term acute care applications and long-term chronic wound management.

Infection Control and Patient Safety Benefits

By promoting healthy air circulation and moisture management at the skin-tape interface, this porous cotton tape supports comprehensive infection prevention protocols and helps reduce the incidence of tape-related skin complications. The breathable design minimizes the warm, moist environment where bacteria and fungi thrive, while the gentle adhesive reduces skin trauma that can serve as a portal of entry for pathogens. These features make the tape an essential component of evidence-based wound care and medical device securement strategies.

Quality and Professional Performance

Manufactured to rigorous healthcare standards, this premium cotton cloth tape delivers consistent, reliable performance that healthcare professionals can trust for critical patient care applications. The combination of breathability, secure adhesion, hand-tear convenience, and skin-friendly properties makes this tape an indispensable supply for hospitals, surgical centers, physician offices, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, and first aid kits.
