Micropore Paper Surgical Tape 1.25cm x 9.14m (1/2in x 10yds)

The 3M Micropore Paper Surgical Tape is an industry-standard medical adhesive designed to offer a gentle yet secure solution for patients with sensitive or at-risk skin. This hypoallergenic tape is manufactured with a non-woven rayon backing that allows the skin to breathe, which is essential for maintaining skin integrity and promoting faster healing of wounds and incisions. Its porous nature ensures that moisture and air can circulate freely, reducing the risk of maceration and irritation even when used for extended periods. This makes it an ideal choice for neonatal and geriatric patients who require extra care during dressing changes.

Featuring a high-quality, pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive, the Micropore tape provides reliable adhesion that builds over time to ensure dressings stay in place. One of its most notable characteristics is its ability to adhere well to damp or moist skin, making it highly versatile for various clinical environments. Despite its strong staying power, the tape is designed for clean removal with minimal adhesive residue left on the skin. This significantly reduces the pain and trauma often associated with repeated taping, ensuring a more comfortable experience for the patient during regular wound maintenance or device securement.

This multi-purpose surgical tape is highly conformable, easily adapting to the natural contours of the body to secure lightweight tubing, ostomy appliances, and small to medium dressings. It is conveniently hand-tearable, allowing for quick application without the need for scissors, which is particularly useful in emergency situations or busy clinical settings. Being latex-free and radiolucent, it is safe for a wide range of medical applications including radiology, surgery, and pediatric care. Whether used in a professional hospital setting or as a staple in a home first-aid kit, 3M Micropore tape delivers dependable, dermatologist-tested performance you can trust.
