3M Transpore Surgical Tape 1 inch x 10 yd 12 rolls

Description

Product Overview

3M Transpore Surgical Tape is a premium medical adhesive designed for a wide range of clinical and home‑care applications. Constructed from a transparent, porous polyester film, the tape offers a balance of strength and flexibility that allows it to conform to the contours of the body while maintaining a secure bond to skin, tubing, and other medical devices. Each roll measures 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width and 10 yards (9.1 m) in length, and the box contains twelve rolls, providing a total of 120 yards of tape for extensive use. The product is hypoallergenic, latex‑free, and does not contain natural rubber, making it suitable for patients with sensitivities. Its bidirectional tear capability enables clinicians to cut the tape quickly and cleanly with one hand, even when wearing gloves, reducing procedure time and improving workflow efficiency. The tape’s clear appearance allows for easy visual inspection of the wound site without removal, supporting ongoing monitoring and reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.

Usage

Transpore Surgical Tape is ideal for securing dressings, catheters, IV lines, and other medical devices in both acute and chronic care settings. Its breathable film permits moisture vapor transmission, which helps maintain a moist wound environment conducive to healing while preventing maceration. The tape adheres well to both dry and slightly moist skin, making it versatile for use after cleansing or during procedures where fluids may be present. Because the material is transparent, clinicians can monitor the condition of the underlying wound or insertion site without disturbing the tape, which is especially valuable in postoperative care, burn management, and long‑term wound therapy. The tape’s hypoallergenic nature ensures it can be safely applied to patients of all ages, including neonates, pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations, without triggering allergic reactions. Its strong yet gentle adhesion allows for secure fixation of tubing and dressings while minimizing trauma upon removal, reducing discomfort and skin irritation.
