Medical tape, also known as surgical tape, is a kind of adhesive tape commonly used in medical and first-aid settings to secure dressings, bandages, tubing, and other medical devices. Typically, these tapes contain a hypoallergenic adhesive that securely attaches to the skin, dressing materials, and underlying tape layers. They are also designed to be gentle enough to remove without damaging the skin.

Medical tape comes in a variety of types, such as micropore tape, paper tape, waterproof medical tape, PE tape, Silk Tape, Zinc Oxide Tape, and other medical adhesive tapes. These medical tapes are all designed to provide a secure, reliable hold to keep dressings and other medical devices solidly in place. This is crucial to promote faster healing and prevent infection.
