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 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
