How to remove tape stuck to the human body

Generally, the most painless method of removing surgical tape is to slowly pull it off at an angle of about 30 degrees relative to the still tape-covered surface, while holding down the surrounding skin. If the patient is allowed to take a bath, the tape can be removed easily after the patient has bathed and warmed his or her body. Nitto Denko also makes products such as YU-KI BAN^® that are designed to enable removal without causing skin damage. We also sell tape- removing products such as sprays made by Nitto Medical Co., Ltd. When the relatively non-irritating liquids in this prodct is allowed to permeate between the adhesive　tape and the skin, the liquid makes it easy to remove the tape. Although the basic method of removing tape is to pull it slowly, there is also a kind of tape that must be pulled off quickly and vigorously. This is hair removal tape. The ａｄｈｅｓｉｖｅ on hair removal tape is special in that it sticks fast to hair on the skin but not to the skin itself. It is applied in the direction of the lie of the hair, and removed by peeling off quickly at an angle of 180 degrees in the direction against the lie of the hair. This is painful, but peeling off the tape slowly will not remove the hair cleanly. To be beautiful, it is necessary to put up with a bit of pain!
