Leukoplast Zinc Oxide Tape 2.5cm x 5m — Single Roll (1522)

Description

The Leukoplast Zinc Oxide Adhesive Tape 2.5cm (1522), often referred to as "Leukoplast Red," is a world-renowned rigid surgical tape designed for applications requiring maximum securement and durability. This tape is constructed from a high-quality viscose backing coated with a powerful zinc oxide adhesive, making it the industry standard for fixing dressings, catheters, and tubes that must remain immobile. Its exceptional tensile strength ensures that it does not stretch or give under pressure, providing a reliable "rigid" hold in even the most demanding clinical or sports settings.

Engineered to be water-repellent and dirt-resistant, Leukoplast 1522 maintains its integrity and adhesion in moist environments or during heavy physical activity. Despite its industrial-strength hold, the tape is designed with patient comfort in mind; the porous coating allows the skin to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration. It is easily hand-tearable for fast, instrument-free application, and its antimicrobial properties—derived from the zinc oxide—help support a clean healing environment. This single-roll option is an essential addition to any clinical treatment room, emergency bag, or athletic training kit.

Common Clinical Uses

• Sports Strapping — Used by physiotherapists and trainers for rigid joint immobilization and injury prevention.
• Long-Term Securement — Excellent for dressings that need to remain in place for extended periods under physical stress.
