Medical bandages and tapes for every application
Stock up on medical bandages and tapes to handle wound care, injury recovery and surgical procedures in hospitals, clinics, aged care facilities and emergency settings. From securing dressings to providing compression and support, the right products make treatment more efficient and comfortable for patients.
Medical tapes keep dressings, IV lines and wound coverings in place without irritation. 3M Micropore tape provides a breathable and hypoallergenic hold for delicate skin, while silicone tape minimises skin trauma during dressing changes, making it ideal for fragile or elderly skin. Self-adhesive tapes, like those offered by Hypafix and Coban, eliminate the need for clips or additional adhesives, offering a strong yet flexible hold for bandages and dressings. For high-strength adhesion, zinc oxide tape offers firm support, perfect for sports injuries and strapping.
For injury management and compression, flexible medical bandages provide support without restricting movement. Cohesive or self-adhesive bandages, like those from Smith & Nephew, wrap securely without sticking to skin or hair. Elastic bandages, such as the Surgifix Elastic Net Bandage, offer adjustable compression for sprains and strains. Tubular bandages from Tubigrip and Tubifast protect joints and soft tissue injuries, ensuring stability without discomfort.
Bandages must conform to the body for effective wound protection. Conforming gauze from Handy stretch to fit different contours for even coverage. Island dressings combine sterile protection with an absorbent pad for wound care, while BSN’s orthopaedic padding cushions limbs under splints or casts, keeping patients comfortable during recovery.

FAQs
Are medical bandages and tapes waterproof?
Some medical tapes and bandages are waterproof, such as certain surgical tapes and transparent dressings with moisture resistance. However, standard gauze and cohesive wraps are not waterproof and may require an additional covering if exposure to water is expected.
Which medical tape is best for sensitive skin?
Silicone and micropore tape work best for sensitive skin. Silicone tape provides a gentle hold and minimises skin trauma during removal, while micropore tape is hypoallergenic and breathable for delicate skin applications.
Are your bandages and tapes latex-free?
We have plenty of latex-free options, but product materials vary by brand. Check individual product descriptions for latex-free options.
Should I buy self-adhesive bandages and tapes or non-adhesive options?
Self-adhesive bandages and tapes are ideal for quick application, compression and secure wrapping without extra tape — perfect for emergency care, sports injuries and post-surgical support. Non-adhesive bandages work best for wound dressings that need separate securing with medical tape. Healthcare facilities should stock both for versatile patient care.
