Why choose Relitape Microporous Tape?

Trusted by healthcare professionals and home users alike, Relitape offers a dependable, skin-friendly solution for everyday medical and first aid needs. Its breathable, gentle design makes it the perfect choice for secure dressing fixation on even the most sensitive skin.

What is microporous tape?

Microporous tape is a gentle, breathable medical tape used to secure dressings, gauze, or bandages to the skin. It’s made from a soft, paper-like material with tiny pores that allow air and moisture to pass through — helping the skin stay comfortable and reducing the risk of irritation.

Because it’s lightweight and easy to tear by hand, it’s a popular choice for use on delicate or sensitive skin, such as on the face or after surgery. It also sticks well but removes easily without leaving sticky residue, making it ideal for everyday first aid and clinical use.

Is microporous tape waterproof?

No, microporous tape isn’t waterproof. It’s actually designed to be breathable, which helps air reach the skin and promotes healing. If you need something to stay on in the shower or during water activities, it’s best to use a waterproof plaster or dressing instead.

Does microporous tape contain latex?

Most microporous tapes, including Relitape, are latex-free – making them a great option for people with sensitive skin or latex allergies. It’s always worth double-checking the packaging just to be sure, though.

How should I remove Relitape from my skin?

To remove Relitape gently, peel it back slowly while supporting the skin. If it feels a bit stuck, you can dab some warm water on the edges to loosen the adhesive. Avoid pulling it off quickly — a gentle approach is kinder to your skin.
