Anesthesia Removable Tape PDC AN-10 Heparin 1/2″ White 500″ Length 333

Description

Product Overview

The PDC AN-10 anesthesia removable tape is engineered for the demanding environment of modern surgical and clinical practice. Constructed from a latex‑free, heparin‑treated substrate, the tape offers a smooth, non‑reactive surface that resists blood absorption while maintaining excellent adhesion to a variety of medical equipment and chart paper. Each label measures a precise 1/2‑inch width, providing a compact yet legible area for essential documentation. With a total length of 500 inches, the roll supplies ample material for dozens of procedures, and the 333 pre‑printed imprint slots allow staff to record the date, time and initials directly on the label without the need for additional pens or markers. The bright white color enhances contrast, ensuring that handwritten information remains clear even under the bright operating‑room lights. Designed to meet the rigorous standards of hospital infection control, the tape is compatible with standard label dispensers and can be easily torn or cut to the required size.
The roll is packaged in a resealable, moisture‑resistant pouch that protects the adhesive backing from drying out during storage or transport. Because the tape is free of latex proteins, it eliminates the risk of allergic reactions for both patients and staff, a critical consideration in high‑throughput environments such as operating suites, intensive care units and outpatient clinics. The heparin coating further reduces the likelihood of clot formation on the label surface, allowing clinicians to apply the tape directly to IV lines, catheter hubs or patient wristbands without compromising sterility. Each imprint is clearly delineated, providing a consistent guide for rapid entry of time‑stamped data, which supports compliance with regulatory documentation requirements and improves overall workflow efficiency.
Beyond its primary labeling function, the AN-10 tape integrates seamlessly with existing hospital information systems. The clear imprint layout aligns with common electronic health record (EHR) templates, allowing staff to transfer handwritten entries to digital formats with minimal effort. Moreover, the tape’s resistance to common disinfectants such as isopropyl alcohol and chlorhexidine ensures that labels remain intact even after routine surface cleaning, preserving the integrity of recorded data throughout the patient’s care continuum.

Usage

In the operating room, the PDC AN-10 tape is frequently applied to anesthesia charts, medication syringes, and patient wristbands to capture the exact moment a drug is administered or a procedure begins. The 1/2‑inch width fits neatly beside other chart columns, while the pre‑printed date, time and initials fields eliminate the need for separate sticky notes, reducing clutter and the chance of misplaced information. Because the label adheres securely even when exposed to moisture or antiseptic solutions, clinicians can rely on it to stay in place throughout lengthy surgeries.
In intensive care units, rapid documentation of medication changes, ventilator settings, and line insertions is essential. The tape’s latex‑free composition prevents skin irritation when applied to patient forearms or catheter tubing, and the heparin coating helps keep the label from clotting on fluid lines. Staff can quickly write the required information in the designated imprint slots, ensuring that each entry is time‑stamped and signed, which is vital for audit trails and patient safety.
In outpatient clinics and procedural suites, the tape provides a fast, low‑cost method for labeling disposable instruments, specimen containers, and patient consent forms. Its 500‑inch length means a single roll can service an entire day of appointments, while the clear white background ensures that handwritten notes remain legible under fluorescent lighting. Because the tape can be torn by hand, there is no need for additional cutting tools, streamlining the labeling process and reducing turnaround time.
Beyond patient documentation, the tape is ideal for labeling equipment such as anesthesia machines, monitoring devices, and supply cabinets. The durable adhesive resists peeling when the label is exposed to routine cleaning agents, and the pre‑printed imprints allow technicians to quickly annotate maintenance dates, calibration times, and responsible personnel. This systematic approach helps facilities maintain compliance with safety standards and simplifies inventory audits.
In emergency situations where time is critical, the pre‑printed imprint fields enable clinicians to document interventions within seconds, reducing the cognitive load of locating a pen and writing free‑form notes. The tape can be quickly torn and affixed to emergency medication kits, airway devices, or rapid‑response carts, providing instant traceability of drug administration times and responsible personnel. This rapid labeling capability supports compliance with emergency care protocols and facilitates post‑event analysis for quality improvement.
