Porous White Surgical Tape for Breathable Wound Dressing
Jorvet porous surgical adhesive tape is a standard white porous tape used in veterinary practice for securing wound dressings and light bandage layers. The porous construction allows moisture vapour to escape through the tape, maintaining skin health and preventing maceration during extended bandage wear. Reliable adhesion to skin and lightly furred areas with easy hand-tearing.
Key Features
- Porous white backing — breathable, moisture vapour-permeable
- 1 in x 10 yd roll — generous length per roll
- Tears easily by hand
- 12-roll box
FAQ
Is this equivalent to standard paper tape?
Similar in function but porous construction provides better breathability. Suitable for most wound dressing fixation applications requiring a standard width tape.
Why Quality Supplies Matter in Veterinary Wound Care
Every component of a wound care dressing system matters — from the wound contact layer to the outer fixation layer. Using professional-grade supplies designed for veterinary use ensures consistent performance, appropriate material safety, and compatibility with the other components of the dressing system. Home-use or hardware store substitutes may seem interchangeable but often lack the softness, sterility standards, or material specifications required for safe wound care.
VivoPet sources wound care supplies from the same professional veterinary distributors that supply Canadian veterinary hospitals. This means the products available here are the same items your veterinarian uses in clinic — not consumer-market approximations of professional supplies. If your veterinarian has recommended a specific wound care protocol, the supplies available at VivoPet allow you to follow that protocol consistently at home between clinic visits.
Supplement Advisor's Note
Wound healing is a complex biological process that depends not just on the dressing materials used, but on consistent dressing change frequency, appropriate wound cleaning technique, and timely identification of complications like infection or dressing-related pressure injury. If a wound is not showing visible improvement after 5-7 days of home wound care, or if you observe increasing redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge, consult your veterinarian before continuing home management. Early identification of complications prevents minor issues from becoming major setbacks in the healing process.
