Mepitac Soft Silicone Secure Tape With Safetac Technology 1-1/2 X 59

What is SC298400-Each Mepitac Soft Silicone Secure Tape With Safetac Technology 1-1/2 X 59?

The SC298400-Each Mepitac Soft Silicone Secure Tape is a medical-grade adhesive tape designed for reliable, skin-friendly fixation. Measuring 1-1/2 inches by 59 inches, it uses patented Safetac technology—a soft silicone layer that adheres gently to the skin without sticking to wounds or fragile tissue. This makes it ideal for long-term use in securing medical devices such as insulin pumps, CGM sensors, or wound dressings, especially for individuals with sensitive, elderly, or compromised skin. The tape is waterproof and breathable, allowing it to stay in place during daily activities including showering, while still letting the skin breathe to reduce irritation.
