Leukoplast is one of the world’s oldest and most trusted medical tape brands, with a history spanning over 120 years. It was created in 1901 by Dr. Oscar Troplowitz at Beiersdorf in Hamburg, Germany — named after the Greek word “leukos” meaning white — as the world’s first zinc oxide adhesive tape designed to be gentle on skin without causing irritation. This innovation became Beiersdorf’s first major commercial success and a staple in homes and hospitals around the world. Today, Leukoplast is part of Essity, a global leader in health and hygiene, and remains the go-to professional choice for secure, reliable wound fixation and dressing support across clinical and home care settings. The Leukoplast range covers a comprehensive portfolio of surgical tapes, adhesive bandages, transparent dressings, silicone-based skin-sensitive fixation, and antimicrobial wound care products — all engineered to meet the highest standards of clinical performance and patient comfort. Trusted by healthcare professionals in hospitals and pharmacies across the globe for over a century. Available at Clear Pharmacy Kuwait.
