3M™ Medipore™ H Soft Cloth Surgical Tape
-
Conformable.Bi-directional stretch accommodates swelling, distension and movement.
-
Breathable.Highly breathable, soft cloth tape.
-
Easy to use.Easy to tear at perforations with no scissors necessary.
-
Apply tape to skin without pulling or stretching.Pulling or stretching during application may result in tension blisters as tape attempts to return to its original state.
-
Apply firm pressure to activate the adhesive and fully contact skin.Acrylate adhesives are pressure sensitive.
-
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 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 (ideally in the direction of hair growth) to support the skin during removal.
Suggested applications
- When repeated taping is needed and preservation of “at risk skin” is critical
- Securing over areas where skin may stretch (e.g., edema, distention, hematoma formation or movement)
- Secondary securement for IV lines and tubing, central venous catheters, chest tubes, surgical drain tubes
- When swelling or movement is anticipated
- When repeated taping is needed
