The Problem

Dressing Changes Shouldn't Cause Damage

Medical tape, silk tape, paper tape — they all share the same flaw: adhesive that bonds to skin. For elderly patients, those on anticoagulants, or anyone with compromised skin integrity, removal causes real harm.

MARSI (Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury)
Skin tears requiring additional treatment
Patient anxiety before dressing changes
Delayed wound healing from repeated trauma
Documentation burden from iatrogenic injuries

The Solution

Guard-Tex Bonds to Itself

Guard-Tex uses a non-stretch, self-adhering formula that bonds only to itself — never to skin, hair, or wounds. Secure hold during wear. Clean release on removal. Zero adhesive contact with patient skin.

Zero MARSI risk
Painless removal every time
No adhesive residue to clean
Breathable cotton reduces moisture buildup
Repositionable — rewrap without waste
Non-stretch — won't constrict even with edema changes
