About

Leukoplast is a premium, strong adhesive tape specifically engineered for the secure and reliable fixation of wound dressings, medical devices, and for providing support in minor injuries. It features a robust, high-quality fabric backing that offers exceptional tensile strength and durability, making it ideal for demanding applications. The tape is coated with a reliable zinc oxide adhesive, known for its excellent initial tack and long-lasting adhesion, ensuring dressings remain firmly in place even on highly contoured body parts or during patient movement. Furthermore, Leukoplast is permeable to both air and water vapor, a crucial feature that helps to prevent skin maceration and maintain skin integrity, even during extended periods of wear. Its strong adhesive properties and durable construction make it a preferred choice for securing heavy dressings, splints, or for providing effective strapping and support in various clinical settings.
