Solventum™ Medipore™ H Soft Cloth Surgical Tape 2863
Breathable Soft Cloth Tape With Multi-Directional Stretch

Solventum™ Medipore™ H Soft Cloth Surgical Tape is a conformable, breathable soft cloth medical tape with multi-directional stretch to accommodate swelling, distension and movement. Medipore is a Solventum brand, formerly 3M, and this tape was previously sold as 3M Medipore H Soft Cloth Medical Tape. Made from non-woven polyester, it has excellent cross and diagonal stretch, so it moves with the body and helps minimize the risk of skin injury. That makes it suited to areas where the skin may stretch, such as with edema or after surgery. The porous, soft cloth fabric lets skin breathe, helping maintain skin integrity, and the tape is water-resistant. It is liner-free, with easy-tear perforations every 5 cm for quick handling without scissors. It is not made with natural rubber latex. The 2863 measures 7.6 cm x 9.1 m (3 in x 10 yd) and is sold individually.
