Explanation:

Montgomery straps are used for dressing changes to reduce skin irritation as they do not require repeated taping and retaping. An abdominal binder is for support, not for dressing - adhering. Hypoallergenic tape can still cause irritation with repeated application, and plastic tape is more likely to cause skin irritation.
