Summary

Foam tape is commonly used in the emergency department as a dressing over chest tubes owing to its occlusive and compressible properties. There is a paucity of data regarding the incidence of significant cutaneous reactions to this material. The investigators conducted a prospective trial to evaluate the incidence of dermatitis following application of foam tape to the upper arm of a cohort of healthy volunteers.

OTHER

2x2 inch piece of 3M microfoam adhesive

A 2x2 inch piece of 3M microfoam adhesive will be applied to the medial aspect of the subject's upper arm. The adhesive will remain in place for 48 hours at which time an investigator will remove the adhesive and assess the study area. A numerical value will be assigned based on the Cutaneous Irritancy Scoring System (CISS). The study site will be compared to the contra-lateral upper extremity at the end of the 48 hour period.
