3M Transpore Surgical Tape is easy to handle, even while wearing surgical gloves. This makes it the ideal choice for healthcare professionals who practice wound care, especially with multiple wound sites. The tape’s ease of tearing allows the care provider to quickly place wound dressings for more efficient care. Its bi-directional tear makes it easy to get the right size and fit needed for the dressing. This tape can be used in applications where paper or cloth tape would cause skin irritation or inability to see underneath.

The 3M Transpore surgical tape is non-sterile and should not be applied directly onto an open wound. Instead, use the tape to secure gauze and wound dressings to the injury. 3M Micropore surgical tape is also available from Penn Care.

3M Transpore tape is a crucial addition to your medical supplies, perfect for EMS situations as well as longer-term care where secure dressings are critical. Ensuring that wound dressings and intravenous lines are properly secured is of utmost importance to patient care and well-being. Make sure your first aid kits are equipped with the right tape for the job.

Note: Wound care involves potential contact with biohazards and should only be done by trained professionals.
