Abstract

See full text

A tape dispenser apparatus for tape having an adhesive surface includes a first supply compartment for holding a continuous length of the tape and a second compartment for holding a plurality of individual tabs or cover members which can be successively removed from the second compartment and applied to portions of the adhesive tape surface to provide multiple, covered adhesive surface portions of the tape. The dispenser has guide structure for guiding displacement of the tape to the second compartment for the removal and adherence of the tabs or cover members. Two of the cover members can be applied to the adhesive surface in spaced sequence to form an expanse of the exposed adhesive between the covered portions so that the medial adhesive surface of the tape can be applied for example to a patient's eyelids or surgical dressings by manipulating the covered tape portions which thereby insulate the fingers of the manipulator from the adhesive tape surface, after which the cover members can be optionally removed.
