Caliber Wound Care & Medical Tape

The Caliber line from Dukal covers the everyday basics that keep a first aid drawer, exam room, or supply closet ready — paper tape and adhesive dressings that do their job without fuss. If you're stocking a clinic, a home care kit, or a facility that goes through consumables quickly, these are the reliable, cost-conscious staples that get reordered again and again.

Caliber Paper Medical Tape comes in a convenient 1 inch x 1.5 yard short roll, non-sterile and white. The paper backing tears cleanly by hand, breathes well against the skin, and lifts off with minimal irritation — which is why it's a go-to for securing lightweight dressings, tubing, and gauze on patients with sensitive or fragile skin. The short-roll size is handy for individual kits, ambulance bags, and situations where a full roll would just dry out unused.

The Dukal Caliber Adhesive Dressings are sterile, 2 x 3 inch rectangular pads on a soft non-woven backing. Each is designed to cover minor cuts, abrasions, and post-procedure sites while cushioning the wound and allowing the skin to breathe. Because they arrive sterile and individually sealed, they're appropriate for use straight out of the package on broken skin — a meaningful difference from a general adhesive bandage when you're managing infection risk.

A common question buyers ask: when do you reach for tape versus a dressing? Use the adhesive dressing when you need a ready-made, sterile cover for a small wound; use the paper tape when you're securing your own gauze, monitoring leads, or dressings that need a gentle, repositionable hold. Many stock both so the two work together.
