Leukoplast Sleek Waterproof Tape 2.5cm x 5m — Single Roll (72379-02)
The Leukoplast Sleek Waterproof Adhesive Tape 2.5cm (72379-02) is a premium, high-strength medical tape specifically designed for demanding environments that require a completely waterproof and oil-resistant seal. Often referred to simply as "Sleek," this tape is constructed from a thin but exceptionally tough plastic film coated with a powerful zinc oxide adhesive. This combination provides a rigid, non-stretch hold that remains secure even when exposed to water, sweat, grease, or clinical detergents.
Leukoplast Sleek is the industry standard for securing dressings in challenging anatomical locations or for patients who need to maintain hygiene through showering without compromising their wound care. Its smooth plastic surface is dirt-resistant and can be easily wiped clean, making it ideal for use in industrial settings or busy clinical wards. While it provides an aggressive bond, the tape is designed to be conformable, allowing it to follow the contours of the body. This single-roll format is an essential component for emergency kits, occupational health clinics, and surgical departments requiring reliable, heavy-duty securement.
