Description
3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape, is a hypoallergenic blended adhesive. This skin-friendly tape does not harm the skin when it removed. Most adhesives pull the skin and hair, causing unnecessary pain and damage. This adhesive has a patented paper blended backing that allows a gentle, but strong adhesion to the skin that remains constant. Most adhesives increase their strength over time, which increases the damage when removed.
The Kind Removal Tape can be repositioned without loosing any of its tacky qualities. The gentle adhesion does not lower the quality of the hold. The adhesive roll is sticky enough that it can be worn in the shower without loosing effectiveness. This adhesive is perfect for using on patients with skin allergies, because it is Hypoallergenic and less likely to cause any skin irritations.
Product Profile
Medical Studies
Several medical studies of adhesive strips for people with sensitive skin find that silicone adhesive is more skin-friendly. A study published in Anesthesiology Research and Practice found that more injuries resulted with standard acrylate adhesive versus silicone in a ratio of 11 to 1. There was a decreased incidence of skin injury with silicone versus the standard acrylate adhesives. Anesthesiologists and an independent blind assessor came to the same conclusion. Patients also reported a higher satisfaction score in the silicone adhesive compared to standard adhesives due to the presence of skin injuries in the standard adhesive group.1
Another study published in the Journal of Wound Ostomy & Continence Nursing comparing silcone to medical paper adhesives found that gentleness evaluations favored the silicone version compared to a paper adhesive.2 In another study published by Advances in Skin & Wound Care, where physicians, nurses, and assistants evaluated silicone tape found that silicone "fills a performance-expectation gap" of current acrylic adhesives among patients with fragile or at-risk skin.3 A Canadian study found that anesthesiologiests and patients have more acceptance of silicone adhesives over other standard options. "Patients were more likely (37% vs 3%) to have skin denudation with standard acrylate" vs silicone as evaluated by the anesthesiologist.2 Furthermore, patient satisfaction with the condition of the skin over the eyelids on postoperative day 1 was significantly higher with silicone.4
A Brazilian study comparing silicone with microporous adhesives for medical applications with newborns, children, seniors, and people at risk of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI), found that the silicone adhesives may be gentler to patients' skin than microporous adhesives.5
