Description
Product Overview
The Hartmann Elastic White Dressing Retention Tape is engineered to provide a reliable, skin-friendly adhesive solution for a wide range of wound care applications. Constructed from a high‑quality elastic fabric, the tape conforms gently to the body’s contours while maintaining a secure hold on dressings, gauze, and bandages. Its white, non‑sterile surface is designed for visibility and ease of handling, allowing clinicians and caregivers to quickly assess placement and integrity. Each roll measures 6 inches in width and extends 11 yards in length, delivering ample coverage for both small and extensive wound sites. The product is packaged in cases of 24 rolls, ensuring a consistent supply for busy medical environments such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home health agencies.
Usage
This retention tape is suitable for a variety of clinical and home‑care scenarios. It excels in securing primary dressings on acute wounds, surgical incisions, and chronic ulcerations where movement and moisture management are critical. The tape’s high breathability permits air and water vapor to pass, minimizing the risk of maceration and promoting a moist wound‑healing environment. It can also be employed to anchor secondary dressings, compression wraps, and splints, providing a versatile tool for orthopedic, podiatric, and dermatologic procedures. Because the tape is non‑sterile, it is intended for use over already sterilized dressings, making it an ideal adjunct in postoperative care, burn management, and long‑term wound maintenance.

FAQ
Is this tape suitable for use on sensitive skin?
Yes, the tape is formulated with a skin‑friendly adhesive that is hypoallergenic and designed to minimize irritation, making it appropriate for most patients, including those with delicate skin.
Can the tape be used on a sterile wound dressing?
The tape itself is non‑sterile, so it should be applied over a sterile dressing that has already been placed on the wound. This maintains the sterility of the primary dressing while providing secure fixation.
What is the recommended storage condition for the tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping the product in its original packaging helps preserve adhesive performance.
How does the tape compare to traditional gauze tape?
Unlike standard gauze tape, this elastic retention tape offers superior stretchability, breathability, and a gentler adhesive, which together reduce the chance of skin maceration and improve patient comfort during prolonged wear.
Is the tape compatible with compression therapy?
Yes, the tape can be used to secure compression bandages and wraps, providing additional stability without compromising the compressive force needed for edema management.
