TapeYU-KI BAN Plastic

Plastic tape that is gentle on the skin and protects the stratum corneum

YU-KI BANs (Plastic) peel off almost no stratum corneum, reducing the amount of stimulation applied when changing dressings.
They don't hurt when removed.
The adhesive does not stick to the stratum corneum, so these bandages maintain their adhesive power.
They are also easy to cut.

YU-KI (Skin-Friendly) Gel Adhesive Gently Protects the Stratum Corneum

YU-KI (Skin-Friendly) Gel Adhesive has drawn a tremendous amount of attention and enjoys overwhelming support.
Most adhesive tape that is used on the skin is designed to be safe for use made by selecting and using ingredients that cause little skin stimulation. However, when the tape is peeled off, it takes some of the skin's surface -- the stratum corneum. This produces a high incidence of skin issues such as redness and rashes.
YU-KI (Skin-Friendly) Gel Adhesive solves this problem by leaving as much of the stratum corneum as possible.
It is used in surgical tapes and film dressings such as YU-KI BAN. Medical personnel rely on it for patients with delicate skin, elderly patients, infants, patients for which bandages are repeatedly placed in the same location, dialysis patients, and patients who have experienced problems when using other tapes.
