Abstract
An easy to use medical tape may have multiple layers including a first layer made of pressure absorbing materials such as flexible foam, and a needle resistant layer. The medical tape may further have a third layer made preferably of non-stick paper and a covering layer made preferably of vinyl. A medical professional making injections or performing an operation may cover his/her body or a patient's body with the medical tape to prevent needlestick injuries. Moreover, the medical tape may come in various shapes and sizes and may be cut into suitable pieces for different procedures.
