Frequently Asked Questions
What is microporous tape used for in first aid?
Microporous tape secures wound dressings, gauze pads, and eye pads in position. It is the standard fixation method when a self-adhesive dressing is not being used. Apply strips over the dressing edges to hold it against the skin, ensuring the tape does not contact the wound itself.
Is microporous tape waterproof?
No. Microporous tape is breathable and porous, which means it allows air and moisture to pass through. It will lose adhesion when wet. For wounds that will be exposed to water, use a waterproof tape or cover the dressed area with a waterproof barrier during hand washing or bathing.
