Product Details

This HypaCover Microporous Tape is 2.5cm wide and comes in a 5m long roll, available as a pack of 6. It is low-allergy, latex-free and hand tearable (no scissors required), providing convenient application in emergency situations.

The high-quality surgical dressing tape allows moisture to escape effectively with its porous, non-woven material. It has been specially designed for dressing and bandage retention with the tape's strong adhesive properties. This Microporous Tape is soft and flexible, conforming easily to the required shape and causing only minimal discomfort upon removal.

Key Benefits

Breathable and moisture-regulating material – the tape’s microporous structure lets air circulate to the skin, helping wounds and surrounding tissue stay dry and healthier, aiding in healing and reducing the risk of maceration.

Hypoallergenic – HypaCover Microporous Tape uses low-allergy, skin-friendly adhesive that’s suitable even for sensitive skin. This lowers the chance of irritation, rashes or allergic reactions.

Strong adhesive – the tape adheres securely to keep dressings, bandages or medical tubing in place, but still moves flexibly with the skin for comfort.

Easy to tear and apply – no scissors are needed as the tape tears easily by hand for quick application.

Easy removal – compared with traditional rigid tapes, microporous tape is easier and less painful to remove as well as leaving minimal residue, which is an advantage when dressings need frequent changing.

Conforms to body contours – it’s flexible and adapts to curves and joints, making it comfortable to wear even on areas such as elbows and knees.

Versatile supply – ideal for first-aid situations such as securing bandages and supporting joints. Also useful for preventing blisters, securing padding or protective gear in sports, taping eyebrows or lashes during beauty treatments like tinting or microblading, and a variety of arts and crafts applications.

6 rolls included – this pack contains six rolls of 2.5 cm × 5 m microporous tape, providing multiple uses and excellent value for money.

Ideal for covering new piercings – when used in conjunction with sterile pads, the HypaCover Microporous Tape is ideal for school P.E. sessions to cover new piercings helping to prevent injury.

Longer wear time – microporous tape allows dressings to stay in place longer without loosening, thanks to its breathable yet secure adhesion.

When to Change Microporous Tape
When the tape requires changing will largely depend on the purpose of use.
For example:

If it is being used to hold a dressing in place over a minor wound it will require changing every 24-48 hours

To hold medical devices such as IVs in place, the tape requires changing as needed

Post-surgery, microporous tape will require changing every 5-7 days (depending on the state of the tape)

The Uses of Microporous Tape in First Aid
Microporous tape is a versatile piece of first aid equipment, having multiple uses and being easily recognised in many fields. It’s uses include:

1) Securing dressings and bandages – microporous tape provides an easy way of securing a non-adhesive dressing or bandage. It is easy to remove, leaving behind minimal adhesive residue. With its porous, non-woven material, this high-quality white tape (also known as medical or surgical tape) allows moisture to escape effectively, minimising the risk of maceration.

2) Securing medical devices – It is common for breathable surgical tapes to be used to secure medical devices, such as IVs, catheters and tubing. The gentle tape is particularly common in care homes and ICUs.

3) Post-surgical use – Due to its hypoallergenic qualities, microporous tape is sometimes used to protect surgical incisions.

4) Preventing blisters and friction injuries – Athletes will use tape to protect areas that are prone to rubbing during activity, such as their heels and toes, to reduce the risk of blisters and friction injuries.

5) Taping fingers or toes – when extremities such as fingers or toes are injured and needing some extra support, microporous tape can be used to strap them together as a temporary method of support.
