Dressing-fixation skin adhesive tape (non-silicone) is a flexible, narrow strip designed to hold medical dressings securely in place on the skin. It uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive—without silicone—to bond to the skin, ensuring stability for wounds, catheters, or other attached devices while minimizing irritation or displacement.
These tapes are typically single-use, single-patient items regulated as medical devices rather than drugs. They may feature hypoallergenic or waterproof properties to suit sensitive skin or moist environments, and their classification varies by jurisdiction depending on intended use and risk factors.
