MedVance Silicone Tape

MedVance silicone tape is built for one of the most frustrating problems in wound care and skin protection: securing dressings on fragile, sensitive, or frequently taped skin without causing pain or damage on removal. If you've ever peeled off a traditional adhesive tape and taken a layer of skin with it, you already understand why silicone-based fixation exists.

The silicone adhesive grips reliably while it's in place, yet lifts away cleanly and painlessly — no tugging, no residue, no skin stripping. That makes it a practical choice for elderly patients, post-surgical sites, pediatric care, and anyone with thin or compromised skin who needs a dressing changed repeatedly.

Our selection includes the MedVance Silicone Tape (V5000150-1) and the 2 inch x 5 yard perforated roll (V5000250-1). The perforated version is genuinely useful day to day: you can tear it by hand to the exact length you need, or cut it to shape around awkward areas without reaching for scissors. A single roll covers a lot of dressing changes, which keeps per-use cost sensible for both home caregivers and facilities.

A common question is whether silicone tape can be repositioned — and with MedVance, it can. You can lift and reapply it several times during a single application without losing hold, which is helpful when you're aligning a dressing edge or working around a joint. It's also gentle enough to layer over itself or over a hydrocolloid or foam dressing when extra security is needed.

MedVance silicone tape pairs naturally with the rest of your dressing supplies. Explore related options in Tapes for alternative fixation methods, and browse our full range of Advanced Wound Dressings to complete your wound care kit.
