CHILDREN AND TAPELESS

CHILDREN AND TAPELESS

Tapeless offers children in general, and pediatrics specifically, something that none of the traditional secondary dressings can, i.e., anatomic sized wound dressing holders.  No longer are secondary wound dressings non-specific rolls of material that may or may not accommodate the needs of the patient,  The market potential for such a product is enormous and with an already clinically proven product like Tapeless, an opportunity awaits sales forces entrenched in the pediatric market.

The need of the healthcare provider is different from the desire of the child patient.  The healthcare providers want something that is cost effective, clinically proven, safe (non-constrictive) and has advantages over traditional secondary dressings.  Tapeless provides these qualities.  Children want something that is pain-free, soft to the touch and does not have any adhesives or a need to be pulled over a body part.  Tapeless has these characteristics.

Tapeless has developed specific anatomic wound dressing holders for epidermolysis bullosa children that are available to 2 different sizes that cover large age and size differences among the involved children. It is the goal of Tapeless to find a pediatric institution that has healthcare providers who wish to  help in identifying the most commonly needed dressing holders and the most commonly needed sizes.  Special ordered sizes are always available with Tapeless, but the need for a large number of variations of a particular product should not be needed due to the ability of the material to accommodate most changes in size.

With the absence of adhesives, ease of application,  soft feel and even the blue color of the material, compliance by the child will be higher.    It is then not only possible to change the primary dressing as often as is best for the care of the wound, but maybe even to enlist the older child to change his/her own wound dressing.  Changing the dressing may no longer be a test of wills between the healthcare provider and the child.
