HS heading 3005.10 (adhesive dressings and articles with an adhesive layer).
The right tape is the one that matches the skin and the job. Micropore paper tape is the gentle, breathable choice for sensitive or fragile skin and frequent dressing changes. Surgical silk/synthetic tape gives a stronger, conformable hold for securing dressings and tubing. Zinc oxide tape delivers firm, durable adhesion for strapping and high-stress fixation. Transparent film tape secures IV sites while keeping them visible and water-resistant. Stocking the range lets one brand meet every fixation need; a hypoallergenic adhesive across the line reduces skin-reaction risk.
Minimums start at 20,000 rolls. Own-brand spool, dispenser and box artwork is supported across tape types and widths.
