Like 3M Micropore, Ritmed paper tape features a breathable paper backing with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that holds dressings securely while releasing cleanly during dressing changes without causing skin trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easy-tear paper construction eliminates the need for scissors during most dressing applications.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivoPet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Advisor's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWound 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritmed \/ AMD Medicom","offers":[{"title":"0.5 in – 24-Roll Box","offer_id":46657390805177,"sku":"128689","price":7.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 in – 12-Roll Box","offer_id":46657390837945,"sku":"128690","price":8.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 in – 6-Roll Box","offer_id":46657390870713,"sku":"128691","price":8.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/2592\/7609\/files\/128691.jpg?v=1773959731","url":"https:\/\/vivopet.ca\/products\/ritmed-surgical-adhesive-paper-tape","provider":"VivoPet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
