Siltape

Siltape is made from soft silicone which is gentle on the skin, this is particularly useful in animals with very thin, friable skin which is vulnerable to damage. Silicone does not cell strip in the same way that other adhesives may damage tissue.

Siltape can be used in any situation where a regular adhesive tape would be used where friable or sensitive skin is an issue.

Siltape is a perfect solution to taping down eyelids for theatre. Glue based tapes are often used, these can be painful to remove and in some cases cause tissue damage or pull out eyelashes.

Siltape is great for securing IV lines and fistula needles as it can be repositioned with no loss of adherence and with atraumatic soft silicone, no tissue damage will occur.

Small incision sites such as biopsys can be covered with the soft silicone tape with no harm to the wound or surrounding skin.

Siltape is ideal for protecting friable tissue from pressure damage or sores from tubing; this is especially useful on the face and tops of ears. Siltape can be applied directly to the skin and tubing placed on top.
