Benefits of Strong Surgical Tape and OP Strips

What is strong surgical tape?

Strong adhesion surgical tape is a medical adhesive product manufactured by Soest Medical Group designed to provide outstanding fixation and secure placement of dressings, devices, and tubing. Used primarily during surgery, the tape is highly effective, including in high-moisture or high-movement environments. It can be reliably attached to surfaces like human skin, medical devices, or medical textiles and repositioned as many times as needed without losing its tack. Strong adhesion surgical tape is made with reinforced backing materials and high-tack adhesive formula to resist prolonged tension, stress, and exposure, unlike conventional surgical tape. The tape guarantees the dressing stays in place throughout the operation and recovery, whether you're anchoring surgical tools, securing heavy dressings, or reinforcing incision areas. It has great shear resistance and holds firmly in place even under stretching or repositioning, preventing device slippage and dislodgement. This category of strong surgical tape comprises surgical strips and OP-strips used in operating rooms where no compromise in adhesion is permitted. Strong surgical tape from Soest Medical Group satisfies high standards of sterile environments and maintains skin compatibility. Every specialty and clinical use can benefit from the variety of formats and sizes these tapes provide.

Why do demanding operations require strong adhesion surgical tape?

Certain tapes must operate under pressure, moisture, and bodily movement in complex surgical settings, including trauma, orthopedic, or cardiovascular operations. To guarantee instruments, drapes, and dressings stay exactly where they are placed without loosening mid-operation, strong adhesion surgical tape is essential. Inappropriate or weak adhesion can cause surgical complications, time delays, or contamination. Soest Medical Group high-adhesion surgical tapes give the security and peace of mind that surgical teams need to operate fast, smoothly, and safely. Even under water or fluid exposure or while the patient is being transferred, these products are made to stick tightly to both surgical textiles and skin, helping maintain surgical field integrity across all surfaces. This is done with minimal interference with other medical procedures, making strong surgical tape an ergonomic solution that does not block the view of the incision or wound site, supporting surgical visibility. In the end, strong fixation increases productivity and lessens the need for corrections during important operations. Therefore, strong adhesion by SMG's adhesive technology not only supports surgeon performance, but also patient safety.

OP-Tape: effortless tape handling and peeling

Designed for speed and simplicity in the OR, OP-Tape from SMG is an ergonomic, pre-cut surgical tape that is easy to prepare and apply in any setting. In medical procedures, OP-Tape removes the need for mechanically cutting or tearing with its easy-peel backing and pre-sized strips, freeing medical teams to concentrate on patient care rather than tape preparation. Its high-tack glue guarantees strong fixation, and the soft backing material fits and adapts to the body’s contours. Thus, OP-Tape provides a safe hold with little effort, whether used to fasten surgical drapes, tubing, or wound dressings. Especially for pediatric, geriatric, or postoperative patients, the tape is also mild on skin, lowering the trauma risk upon removal. Every OP-strip is pre-sterilized and individually wrapped, reducing prep time and fitting perfectly into high-pressure or time-sensitive surgical procedures.
