Foam Tape Allergy a Sticky Situation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Medical Adhesive Allergy, Dermatologic Conditions, Dermatologic Lesions

In brief

Foam tape is commonly used in the emergency department as a dressing over chest tubes owing to its occlusive and compressible properties. There is a paucity of data regarding the incidence of significant cutaneous reactions to this material. The investigators conducted a prospective trial to evaluate the incidence of dermatitis following application of foam tape to the upper arm of a cohort of healthy volunteers.
