Ecoaid® Non-Woven Adhesive Retention Tape (52 Series)
Ecoaid® is a wide area adhesive tape, especially suitable for use on frequently mobile and highly contoured parts of the body. It is made from a white, stretchable, non-woven polyester dressing sheet coated with skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive on quick-release backing paper. The adhesive ensures the dressing is firmly secured on all sides and cannot slip or become detached. Ecoaid® is permeable to moisture and air, reducing the risk of maceration. It is also radiotransparent, so it does not need to be removed for either radiotherapy or X-ray examinations. Ecoaid® can be cut to the required size, which means it can be tailored to protect the entire wound dressing against contamination, thereby minimising wastage.
