foam edging tape-medical people-is it an ortho supply?

[barbarhow]

We have a nightmarish shelving unit that needs to be proofed. It has a bunch of shelves on it with nice sharp edges that are just calling out to Jack's perfect skin. I know that I have seen foam tape that could be used on these shelves. I cannot find it in the stores. It may be that it was stuff we used in the hospital on orthopedic patients. I can't remember. Anyone know of anything similar that doesn't cost a fortune? By the time we purchase shelf guard for 4 shelves we might as well just ditch the shelves...TIA

They're also used heavily in surgical units for dressing wounds. It's called 3M (company) microfoam tape. Maybe you can do a search engine online? I haven't seen them in stores. I'd check 3M products who makes a variety of rubber tapes.

Barbara, pm me if you can't find it.
