FAQ: What is micropore tape used for in first aid?

Micropore tape is primarily used to secure wound dressings and gauze pads to skin. Its gentle adhesive holds dressings in place without the aggressive bond of waterproof tapes - making it ideal for fragile, elderly or sensitive skin, or for dressings that need frequent changing. It is also used for securing medical tubing, IV lines and monitoring leads in healthcare settings.

FAQ: Can I use Nexcare Micropore Tape on wet skin?

Micropore tape is not waterproof and loses adhesion when wet. Apply only to dry, clean skin for best adhesion. If wound coverage during showering is needed, use Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Tape instead. Micropore tape is best suited for indoor, dry-skin wound management applications.
