Dermicel is a brand name of Johnson & Johnson. I had some Dermicel tape but needed more. Though Amazon shows Dermicel as the product name and picture, what I got is "Cloth Surgical Tape Hypoallergenic, manufactured for dynarex Corporation, Orangeburg, NY, made in China." I don't care where it was made, and it's a generic that's close, but not quite the same as, Dermicel. At first glance it looks the same, but it's woven differently. Both tapes have tiny notches along the sides to assist in tearing, but Dermicel has clearly-seen lines across the full width of the tape that make it much easier to cleanly tear a piece off. This tape has a smooth uniform weave that doesn't tear as easily, so it stretches and frays slightly at the tear. Of course it can be cut with scissors, but like any tape, it quickly gums them up. Both tapes have about the same stickiness. If you don't mind the difference, this tape is a good price. The product name and photo should be changed to the actual product.
