Nito (ST-310) Nepore Surgical Tape

The mechanism of action of Hypoallergenic Special Paper Surgical Tape involves its ability to adhere securely to the skin while minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation. The tape is designed with a special hypoallergenic adhesive that forms a strong bond with the skin's surface. This adhesive is formulated to be gentle and non-reactive, reducing the likelihood of skin irritation or allergic responses that are commonly associated with traditional adhesives. The tape's paper backing is breathable, allowing air circulation to the skin, which further helps in maintaining skin integrity. When applied, the tape conforms to the contours of the skin, providing a flexible and comfortable hold. This ensures that the tape remains in place during movement or exposure to moisture, thereby supporting wound care, securing medical devices, or providing additional support as needed without causing adverse reactions.
