Ideal For

This surgical tape is well suited for wound care nurses and clinicians who need a gentle, hypoallergenic tape for securing gauze dressings, non-adherent pads, and other primary dressings on patients with sensitive or fragile skin, including elderly patients and those with skin conditions that make aggressive adhesives inappropriate.

Home health patients and caregivers managing wound dressings at home will find the hand-tear design and hypoallergenic adhesive easy to use without additional tools and gentle enough for repeated daily dressing changes. Medical supply purchasers and DME providers sourcing 3M Micropore tape in the 0.5-inch width for clinical or home care distribution will find the box-of-24 format a standard bulk supply quantity for this widely used surgical tape size.
