Leukoplast Zinc Oxide Rigid Tape 1.25cm x 5m — Single Roll (01521-00)
The Leukoplast Zinc Oxide Rigid Tape 1.25cm (01521-00) is a world-renowned surgical tape engineered for applications that demand exceptional strength and permanent securement. Featuring a narrow 12.5mm profile, this tape is specifically designed for high-precision anchoring of small dressings and medical devices. Constructed from a high-quality viscose backing coated with a powerful zinc oxide adhesive, Leukoplast "Red" provides a rigid, non-stretch hold that remains reliable even under significant mechanical stress or physical activity.
Leukoplast is distinguished by its aggressive initial and long-term adhesion, making it the premier choice for clinical environments where dressing failure is not an option. Despite its heavy-duty performance, the tape is remarkably breathable, helping to reduce the risk of skin maceration during extended wear. It is also highly water-repellent and dirt-resistant, ensuring the application remains clean and secure in various clinical conditions. This single roll features an antimicrobial spool, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria on the packaging, supporting infection control protocols in busy treatment rooms and surgical units.
