3M™ Micropore™ Surgical Tape is a multi-purpose medical paper tape appropriate for applications such as blood draws, lightweight dressings, secondary securement of IV lines and non-critical tubes.
Good initial and long-term (72 hours) adhesion to skin.
Easy to apply.
Use for reliable securement for blood draws,lightweight dressings, secondary securement of IV lines and non-critical tubes.
Pulling or stretching during application may result in tension blisters as tape attempts to return to its original state.
Acrylate adhesives are pressure sensitive.
Do not pull the tape perpendicular to the skin. For tape that is strongly adhered to the skin, consider using a medical grade adhesive remover to soften the adhesive along the peel line.
Stabilize the skin with one finger at the peel line and continuously move it along the peel line (ideally in the direction of hair growth) to support the skin during removal.
