Kendall Plastic Medical Tape, 1/2 Inch x 10 Yard, Transparent

The Kendall Plastic Medical Tape from Cardinal Health is a transparent adhesive tape designed to secure dressings, catheters, and IV tubing while keeping the underlying skin in full view. It's a smart choice for caregivers, nurses, and anyone managing wounds or lines at home who needs a dependable hold combined with the ability to monitor the treated area at a glance.

Because the tape is clear, its lack of opacity lets you see the skin underneath—so you can spot redness, swelling, or other changes without removing the tape. It tears easily by hand, even while wearing gloves, which speeds up dressing changes and eliminates the need for scissors. The plastic backing holds firmly yet lifts cleanly, making it well suited for securing IV tubing and dressings that require ongoing observation.

This tape measures 1/2 inch wide by 10 yards long (1.27 cm x 9.1 m) and is available in multiple purchase options: a Single roll, a Box of 24, or a Case of 240—so you can stock the right amount for home use or a busy facility. Medical tape is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity from the options below.
