Non-Woven Medical Paper Tape Microporous Surgical Tape for Sensitive Skin

Product Definition & Positioning

Non-Woven “Paper” Medical Tape, also known as Microporous Non-Woven Surgical Tape, is a lightweight, breathable medical adhesive tape designed for frequent dressing changes and gentle skin fixation.
