3M Transpore Surgical Tape 1527-2 2 in x 10 yd Hypoallergenic

Description

Product Overview

The 3M Transpore Surgical Tape (model 1527-2) is a premium medical-grade adhesive tape designed for a wide range of clinical and first‑aid applications. Constructed from a transparent, porous film, the tape offers excellent breathability while maintaining a strong, yet gentle, bond to skin and medical tubing. Each roll measures 2 inches (5 cm) in width and 10 yards (9.1 m) in length, providing sufficient material for multiple procedures without compromising performance. The tape is hypoallergenic and latex‑free, reducing the risk of skin irritation for patients with sensitivities. Its unique composition allows for easy, straight, bidirectional tearing, which is especially helpful when clinicians are wearing gloves. The product is manufactured by 3M, a trusted name in healthcare supplies, and meets rigorous industry standards for safety and reliability.

Usage

Transpore Surgical Tape is versatile enough to be used in hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, and home first‑aid kits. It excels at securing dressings, catheters, and IV lines, as well as providing a protective barrier for minor cuts, abrasions, and surgical incisions. The transparent nature of the tape allows healthcare professionals to monitor wound healing without removing the dressing, while the breathable film helps prevent maceration. Because the tape adheres well to both skin and tubing, it is ideal for securing respiratory equipment, drainage tubes, and monitoring devices. Its hypoallergenic formulation makes it suitable for patients of all ages, including infants and the elderly, who may have delicate or compromised skin. The tape can also be employed in veterinary settings for similar purposes, offering a reliable solution across species.
