TENDERSKIN™ Hypoallergenic Paper Tape by Covidien is a gentle, breathable medical tape designed for secure adhesion and comfortable removal—ideal for sensitive or compromised skin. Trusted by medical professionals, this high-quality paper tape offers reliable performance in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.
TENDERSKIN™ is latex-free and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for patients with known sensitivities. It allows moisture vapor to escape and air to circulate, reducing the risk of maceration. The tape is easy to tear by hand, which simplifies application and reduces patient discomfort during removal.
It’s an excellent choice for securing dressings, tubing, gauze, or lightweight medical devices without leaving residue or causing trauma to fragile skin. Designed with both patient comfort and clinical effectiveness in mind, TENDERSKIN™ is a staple in any wound care kit.
