BSN Medical Cover-Roll Stretch Bandage — Latex-Free Fixation, 4 Widths

Soft, stretchable, latex-free — the specified underlayer for McConnell patellofemoral taping and a reliable fixation bandage for dressings, devices, and tubes. BSN Medical Cover-Roll Stretch is a cross-elastic nonwoven polyester adhesive bandage coated with a skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive — designed for wide-area fixation of wound dressings, catheters, ostomy appliances, trach tubes, and other medical devices. Its stretchable construction conforms and adheres to highly contoured areas of the body — including elbows, knees, and shoulders — providing light, gentle compression without constriction or interference with circulation. Cover-Roll Stretch is 100% latex-free and specified alongside Leukotape P as the skin-protective underlayer in the McConnell patellofemoral (kneecap) corrective taping protocol.

✔ 100% Latex-Free — Safe for Latex-Sensitive Patients    ✔ Stretchable Nonwoven Polyester — Conforms to Body Contours    ✔ Breathable & Radiolucent — No Removal for X-Ray    ✔ Specified McConnell Taping Underlayer for Leukotape P

Product Details

Features & Benefits

• Cross-Elastic Nonwoven Construction — Stretchable polyester fabric conforms to highly contoured areas of the body — elbows, knees, shoulders, neck — and stays securely in place during movement without binding or restricting circulation
• Skin-Friendly Polyacrylate Adhesive — Holds dressings and devices securely in place even in the presence of moisture from sweat or bathing — gentle enough for sensitive skin and extended wear
• 100% Latex-Free — Safe for patients with latex sensitivity or allergy — and critically, allows clinicians to use Leukotape P corrective taping protocols on latex-sensitive patients by acting as a protective barrier between the latex-containing Leukotape P and the skin
• Breathable & Air-Permeable — Porous nonwoven structure allows air and vapor exchange to reduce maceration and maintain skin health during extended wear
• Radiolucent — X-rays pass directly through Cover-Roll Stretch — no need to remove the tape before imaging, reducing patient discomfort and clinical disruption
• Light Compression — Provides gentle, non-constricting compression that supports healing without impeding blood or lymphatic flow
• Gridlined Release Liner — Split-back paper liner includes measurement gridlines for precise cutting to size — minimizes waste and speeds application
• Wide-Area Fixation — Wide roll widths (up to 8") allow coverage of large wound sites in a single application without multiple strips of tape
• Cuts to Any Shape — Easily trimmed to fit any wound size, shape, or device without fraying

Using Cover-Roll Stretch with Leukotape P

Cover-Roll Stretch and Leukotape P are the two materials specified in the BSN McConnell patellofemoral taping protocol — the clinical standard for correcting patellar position and managing patellofemoral pain. Cover-Roll Stretch is applied directly to bare skin first, creating a protective, latex-free underlayer. Leukotape P is then applied on top, with its aggressive zinc oxide adhesive bonding securely to the Cover-Roll surface. This layered approach allows clinicians to deliver the full holding strength of Leukotape P while protecting the patient's skin from direct contact with Leukotape's latex-containing adhesive — making the protocol usable even for latex-sensitive patients and significantly reducing skin irritation during repeated taping cycles.

Clinical Applications

• Underlayer for McConnell patellofemoral taping with Leukotape P
• Underlayer for corrective shoulder and hip taping protocols
• Fixation of wound dressings and gauze on small to large wound sites
• Securing catheters, cannulas, and IV lines
• Fixation of ostomy appliances and drainage devices
• Securing tracheostomy tubes and other airway devices
• Dressing retention on high-flex areas — elbows, knees, ankles, shoulders
• Wide-area coverage over post-surgical wounds and abdominal sites

Choosing the Right Size

• 2" widths (45547, 45549) — Tubes, cannulas, IV lines, catheters, and narrow wound dressing edges — also used for patellofemoral taping on smaller patients
• 4" widths (45548, 45550) — Most versatile width for standard dressing fixation, patellofemoral and shoulder taping, and medium wound coverage — most commonly ordered size
• 6" widths (45552, 45553) — Larger wound sites, abdominal dressings, and broader fixation coverage
• 8" width (45554) — Maximum width for large post-surgical sites, trunk wounds, and situations requiring the broadest single-piece coverage
• 2-yard lengths — Shorter rolls for low-volume use, home care, or single-procedure applications
• 10-yard lengths — Best value for clinical settings and ongoing wound care management

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cover-Roll Stretch the same as Leukotape P?
No — they are two different products used together. Cover-Roll Stretch is a soft, stretchable, latex-free fixation bandage applied to the skin first. Leukotape P is a rigid, high-strength zinc oxide strapping tape applied on top of Cover-Roll for corrective taping. Cover-Roll Stretch can also be used independently as a standalone dressing fixation bandage without Leukotape P.

Why use Cover-Roll Stretch under Leukotape P instead of applying Leukotape directly to skin?
Leukotape P contains latex and has an aggressive zinc oxide adhesive that can cause skin irritation, especially with repeated applications. Cover-Roll Stretch acts as a gentle, latex-free barrier that protects the skin while still allowing Leukotape P to grip and hold securely. For patients with latex sensitivity, this combination allows the full McConnell taping protocol to be performed safely.

Is Cover-Roll Stretch latex-free?
Yes — Cover-Roll Stretch is 100% latex-free, making it safe for latex-sensitive patients and latex-free clinical protocols.

Does Cover-Roll Stretch need to be removed before an X-ray?
No — Cover-Roll Stretch is radiolucent, meaning X-rays pass through it without interference. It does not need to be removed prior to radiographic imaging.

Can Cover-Roll Stretch be used directly on wounds?
Cover-Roll Stretch is a fixation bandage, not a wound contact layer. It is designed to be applied over a primary wound dressing to hold it in place, or directly to intact skin as a taping underlayer. It should not be applied directly to open wounds.

Does it hold in moisture or wet conditions?
The polyacrylate adhesive maintains adhesion even in the presence of moisture from sweat or bathing. The breathable nonwoven construction also allows vapor to escape, reducing maceration under the bandage during extended wear.
