• Centre tape over tubing:
encircle tubing with tape.
• Where tape meets, pinch
the two adhesive sides
together. Secure remainder
of tape to skin.
Used when repeated taping is
anticipated.
• A breathable, gentle tape
may be placed on skin to
serve as a platform for
applying additional tape to
the area.
• When tubing change or
retaping is required, only the
upper tape is removed; the
platform remains intact.
• Platforms may also be made
from barrier wafers or
hydrocolloids.
