Good packaging. no waste by cutting as much as needed
While I like the product, I found myself having some kind of reaction to the tape. I have a latex allergy and the tape does not say if it is latex free or not. Is there latex in your product? If so, it should be written on box. I did not see the actual container, so I do not know. Nurses and Dr.'s should know before using on patients. thanks
