12 Microporous/Micropore Surgical Dressing Retention Medical Paper Tape 2.5cm x 10m.

We use a lot of micoporous tape as my husband has a ileostomy bag, we use it to provide some ADDITIONAL security/adhesion over the already self-adhesive pouch that sticks directly to his back, I change this 3 or 4 times a week, so we probably use more tape than the average household. I had been buying supermarket or pharmacy tape for the past 3 years for this purpose, up until the coronavirus when it is now (as the whole world knows) not so easy to get out and buy what we need. After reading through reviews on various tapes I opted for this one. I must say I am very pleasantly surprised ( & relieved, as I really need a product that does the job) the tape, at 10m length is double that of supermarket tape (usually 5m), it definately feels a lot better quality than previous tapes I have brought, slightly stronger, slightly thicker, also feels softer and definately better adhesive and as there are 12 rolls in the box it will last for AGES. I noticed one review commented about it not being waterproof, I dont think it is meant to be; for anyone in doubt it is the tape that the nurse uses to sucure a cotton wool pad to your vein after a blood test. I definately recommend this product as a very good quality and excellent value tape, I will definately buy again.

This tape serves its purpose perfectly. I use it to hold in place dressings over a surgical wound; the tape is sticky enough to stay in place all day, but not so sticky that it hurts or rips out any body hair when you remove it. Considering it is by far much better value than the micropore tape you would buy at a supermarket (which usually costs 75 - 99p per roll), and in my opinion is of a much better quality, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product.

I have been on dialysis for 20 years and one side effect is you loose layers of skin a d so when you have a bleed for any reason and they are more often than the fit person a gentle but strong ad covering is required to cover the dressing and micropore has bee used for years for this purpose This offer is for generic micropore and only time and use will tell me if it is as good as the branded

I use the tape to reinforce the join between my catheter leg bag and my night bag to ensure they don’t pull apart during the night. For that purpose the tape is ideal, adhesive enough to make a strong binding, yet tearable and not too adhesive so that you can unwind the tape and separate the join in the morning. The tape is also ideal to keep bandages in place. I will be placing a repeat order when my current stock runs out and have no hesitation in recommending this product.

I used this tape to secure dressings over a leg wound. Sadly it does not do a good job of sticking. This is really obvious when a roll is first started as they just will not adhere to the skin for longer than a couple of seconds. Now I don't want tape that rips my skin off when removed but I do expect it hold things in place and it just does not. As you get past the first 1/4 of the roll it starts to adhere more effectively but it can't be relied on. It would be good value if it did what it was supposed to do but as it is it's not really fit for purpose. It may work better for areas with less muscle or movement but I will go for a different brand in future.

Bought this for my daughter who is having toe nail surgery to stick tube bandage down. Its great tape and stays stuck all day, even on toes in socks. Great value for money would buy again/recommend.

I’m not happy with the fact that it’s advertised as 12 rolls whereas when I opened the box there were 11 rolls

Quite thin as some have said - but not sure why that matters. And as others have said, the sticking power isn't great - to me that's an advantage as it means it doesn't pull my skin off which others do. Also tears easily and in the direction you want it to instead of making its own mind up!
