The TapeAWL was created to provide a solution for fixating patients to surgical table

The TapeAWL was also created to provide solutions for taping athletes 

Benefits of the TapeAWL:

Smoothly dispenses medical tape to the patient or athlete in need.

Allows for faster tape jobs in the OR which means the patient is under anesthesia for a lesser time.

Also keeps faculty fingers healthy and prevents paper cuts from existing taping methods. This in turn keeps the OR a more sterile environment for the patient and the staff. When using traditional methods of tapping, the staff members in the OR complain about paper cuts from sticking one of their fingers in each side of the tape to create a way of dispensing tape. In doing so this could create the opportunity for blood borne pathogens to transmit from one faculty member to another.
