Frequently Asked Questions
How is spool-and-cap different from a standard tape roll?
The protective cap covers the adhesive edge between uses, preventing contamination from dust and handling. Standard tape rolls leave the adhesive exposed, which can degrade over time in dusty or busy environments. The spool-and-cap format is better suited to first aid stations where the tape may sit for weeks between uses.
What width of microporous tape should I stock?
Stock 2.5cm width as standard - this is the size specified in most BS 8599-1 first aid kits and provides adequate width for securing most wound dressings. Wider widths are available for larger dressings and retention applications.
