Product Overview
Nitto Yu-Ki Ban™ surgical tape is the flagship adhesive-tape line from Nitto Denko, a Japanese specialist in medical adhesives. The brown non-woven variant is widely used in Asian hospital systems where skin-friendliness, water-resistance and atraumatic removal are core requirements. The non-woven backing is gas- and moisture-permeable, supporting transepidermal water-loss balance under prolonged tape application typical of post-surgical sites, IV catheters and feeding-tube fixation.
The proprietary soft-gel adhesive system is formulated without natural-rubber latex, eliminating type-I hypersensitivity risk associated with traditional rubber-based surgical tapes. The adhesive conforms to skin micro-topography for secure fixation while permitting low-trauma removal — an important consideration in MARSI (medical adhesive-related skin injury) prevention bundles per the 2013 international consensus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Yu-Ki Ban compare to standard non-woven surgical tape (e.g., Micropore)?
A: Both are non-woven, latex-free tapes. Yu-Ki Ban’s soft-gel adhesive system delivers a lower peel force on intact skin while maintaining secure fixation, making it preferred where MARSI risk is elevated — for example, in patients with chronic corticosteroid use, oedematous limbs or repeated tape applications.
Q: Is the tape suitable under occlusive transparent dressings?
A: Yes — the non-woven backing is gas-permeable and does not occlude. It is commonly used as an anchoring frame around transparent IV dressings or as a chevron strut over hub junctions, in line with INS 2021 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice (Standard 41).
Q: How is the tape removed atraumatically?
A: Per international MARSI consensus, remove low and slow, parallel to the skin, with the free hand stabilising adjacent skin. A silicone-based adhesive remover (e.g., ConvaTec ESENTA wipe) further reduces stripping in fragile skin populations.
Q: Can it be used on wet skin or post-shower?
A: Yu-Ki Ban tolerates incidental moisture and brief showering due to its hydrophobic backing. Apply only to clean, dry skin for initial fixation; replace if the tape edges lift or become saturated.
Q: How does EMIS supply Nitto Yu-Ki Ban in Singapore?
A: EMIS — Essential Medical International Supplies — is the Singapore B2B medical supply distributor for Japanese-manufactured medical consumables including the Nitto / Nitoms tape range, supplying hospitals, polyclinics, day-surgery centres and home-care nursing services across Singapore. HSA-listed; case-pack (12 rolls) and bulk invoicing available.
