Benefits |
Hypoallergenic, Adhesive Surgical
Tapes
We offer a wide range of hypoallergenic, adhesive surgical tapes to help to meet your daily taping challenges including 'paper', foam, occlusive, soft-cloth and
'silk-like' medical tapes. From the trusted 3M™
Micropore™ Surgical Tape for fragile skin to
3M™ Transpore™ White Surgical Tape for
stronger adhesion to sweaty, damp or dry skin, our
surgical tapes range helps you to provide better patient
care.
Reducing Skin Damage
The porous and breathable backing materials used
on our medical tapes ensure that skin can breathe
normally. The skin-friendly hypoallergenic polyacrylate
adhesive also reduces skin irritation. Pressure
sensitive adhesive technology is used which enables
bonding to the skin using only finger pressure,
ensuring patient safety and comfort at all times.
Choosing the Right Surgical Tape
Choosing the right tape for the patient's skin and
the required use will reduce skin problems, save
time and lower costs. We aim to provide the right
surgical tape for every situation. For example 3M™
Blenderm™ Tape, is an occlusive, waterproof
transparent tape for special applications and wound
protection. Our highly conformable 3M™ Microfoam™
Tape stretches in all directions, whilst remaining
strong, breathable and waterproof, and 3M™
Durapore™ Tape is an easy to tear silk tape,
for applications where strength is required.
