Siltape - Soft Silicone Fixation Tape

Siltape - Soft Silicone Fixation Tape

Product Description

Siltape is made from soft silicone which is gentle on the skin, this is particularly useful in patients with very thin, friable skin which is vulnerable to damage.

Siltape has been designed for ease-of-use in practice, with perforations at regular intervals to allow it to be cut to length and a specially designed box allowing Siltape to be stored and dispensed from the box.

As Silicone does not cell strip in the same way as other adhesives that may damage tissue, it is ideal for use on paediatrics and neonates, and is also a suitable solution to taping down eyelids for theatre. 

IV lines and fistula needles can be secured using Siltape as it can be repositioned with no loss of adherence and with atraumatic soft silicone, no tissue damage will occur.

Small incision sites such as biopsies can be covered with Siltape with no harm to the wound or surrounding skin.

Siltape is ideal for protecting fragile tissue from pressure damage or sores from tubing; this is especially useful on the face and tops of ears. It can be applied directly to the skin and tubing placed on top.

Indications

Siltape can be used in any situation where a regular adhesive tape would be used where friable or sensitive skin is an issue.

• For protecting friable tissue from pressure damage or sores from tubing; this is especially useful on the face and tops of ears. Siltape can be applied directly to the skin and tubing placed on top.
