At Tingstad, you'll find surgical tape, wound closure strips, and sports tape for first aid, wound care, and sports applications. Our range includes paper tape for securing dressings, wound closure strips for certain minor wounds, as well as sports tape and elastic kinesiology tape. Choose from products by Akla, AlphraMedic, Selefa, Snögg, and Etab.
The right tape depends on its intended use. For securing compresses and dressings, surgical tape can be a suitable option, while sports tape is commonly used when support is needed or when certain movements need to be restricted. Compare material, width, length, and intended use to find the most suitable tape.
Surgical tape, wound closure strips, and sports tape are designed for different purposes. When choosing a tape, consider what needs to be secured or supported, how sensitive the skin is, and how long the tape will need to remain in place.
Surgical tape is used to secure items such as compresses and dressings to the skin. It is available in a variety of materials, widths, and lengths.
Paper tape is often a suitable option for sensitive skin or when a lighter dressing needs to be secured. Other types of surgical tape may offer different levels of adhesion and flexibility. Always check the material and intended use before making your choice.
Wound closure strips, also known as skin closure strips, are used to hold wound edges together in certain minor and superficial wounds. They may also be used to support wound edges according to healthcare or product instructions.
Not all wounds are suitable for adhesive closure. Deep, large, or heavily bleeding wounds may require assessment and treatment by healthcare professionals.
Sports tape is commonly used to provide support and limit certain movements during physical activity. It is generally less elastic than kinesiology tape.
Kinesiology tape is an elastic tape designed to move with the body. It is used in sports and rehabilitation settings, although its medical benefits may vary and are not conclusively established for all applications.
Choose the tape based on its intended purpose and follow the product instructions.
Tape generally adheres best to clean and dry skin. Avoid applying tape over dirty or irritated skin, and pay attention to any signs of redness, itching, or discomfort.
Remove tape carefully to reduce the risk of skin irritation. Application and removal methods may vary between products.
If you also need materials to secure, explore our range of compresses and dressings.
