3M Micropore S Surgical Tape

Description

Ensure reliable, skin-friendly securement with the Micropore S surgical tape, recommended product in the Multi-purpose Securement Class. Ideal for blood draws, lightweight dressings and secondary securement of IV lines and non-critical tubes, our silicone-based tape provides a dependable hold and removes cleanly without damaging the skin to help reduce the risk of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries (MARSI).

Formulated with a non-irritating silicone adhesive, our surgical tape is ideal for all patients, including those with sensitive skin such as elderly patients, infants and children. The gentle adhesive ensures the tape removes cleanly and minimizes skin layer disruptions, reducing patient discomfort for a more pleasant healing process. The bi-directional perforations make the tape easy to tear by hand, saving you valuable time. As an essential addition to your healthcare toolkit, Micropore S surgical tape provides reliable securement while protecting your patients’ skin, making their recovery process smoother and your job easier.

• Apply tape to skin without pulling or stretching- Pulling or stretching during application may result in tension blisters as tape attempts to rebound to its initial state.
• Apply firm pressure- Pressure helps ensure silicone adhesive comes in full contact with the skin.
• To remove, loosen the tape’s leading edge- 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 or hand sanitizer to soften the adhesive along the peel line.
• Stabilize skin and remove the tape “low and slow”- Stabilize the skin with one finger at the peel line and continuously move it along the peel line in the direction of hair growth to support the skin during removal.

Features:

• Reliable adhesion — good initial and long-term adhesion to dry skin for up to 72 hours.
• Skin performance — delivers the securement power you need while minimizing skin damage.
• Helps reduce risk — single-use length rolls (2770S-1, 2770S-2) can help reduce risk of cross-contamination.
• Tape has a paper-plastic hybrid backing with silicone adhesive and is not made with natural rubber latex.
• Easy to use — can be torn by hand and repositioned.
• Ideal for all patients — strong, yet gentle silicone adhesive tape is suitable for all patients including those with sensitive skin such as elderly patients, infants and children.
• Minimizes patient pain and discomfort upon removal — non-irritating silicone adhesive surgical tape reduces hair pulling and helps maintain skin integrity.

Suggested Applications:

• Clinical general securement applications including blood draws, lightweight dressings, IV lines and tubing (secondary securement) and non-critical tubes.
• Ideal for all patients including those with sensitive skin.
• Suitable for use, with gentle removal, on infants and children.
