Siltape is a medical adhesive tape made from soft silicone which is gentle on the skin, this is particularly useful in patients with very thin, friable tissue 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 it to be stored and dispensed from the box.

As silicone does not cell strip in the same way as other adhesives, 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.
