Breathable tape and surgical tape are adhesive tapes that are used to hold bandages and dressings in place. They are also used to secure catheters and other medical devices. Breathable tape is available in a variety of materials, including paper, cloth, and plastic. Surgical tape is usually made from cloth or paper.
Some tapes are available with adhesive on both sides (double-sided tape), while others have adhesive on one side only (single-sided tape). Most Breathable tapes are white, but some are available in other colors.
