A world leader in physical therapy supplies, 3M has long set the global standard in health care with innovative and reliable products. 3M micropore paper tape is a breathable, latex-free, hypoallergenic surgical tape that is ideal for use on sensitive skin.
The tape leaves little or no residue upon removal, and can be used for securing dressings even when the skin is damp, or for ostomy pouches. In fact, the tape is designed to be attached to skin which is slightly damp, and will adhere better to skin which has been dampened and then dried, followed by the application of the tape.
Elderly patients especially will appreciate the gentle nature of this paper tape, as it is designed for repeated applications without irritation or chafing of the surrounding skin area.
When applying Micropore paper tape, be sure to place the tape on the skin without tension.
3M Micropore tape comes with an "expiration date," which may be thought of as 3M's "best quality if used by" label. Ensure use before the expiration date for best results.
