Solventum™ Micropore™ Surgical Tape 1530-3
Multi-Purpose Medical Paper Tape - 7.6 cm x 9.1 m (3 in x 10 yd)

Solventum™ Micropore™ Surgical Tape is a multi-purpose medical paper tape for blood draws, lightweight dressings, secondary securement of I.V. lines and tubing, and non-critical tubes. Micropore is a Solventum brand, formerly 3M, and this tape was previously sold as the 3M Micropore Surgical Tape and 3M Micropore Medical Tape, 1530 Series. It provides good initial and long-term adhesion to skin for up to 72 hours, and holds well on damp skin. The conformable, breathable paper tape tears easily by hand and leaves minimal residue on removal. It is not made with natural rubber latex. The 1530-3 measures 7.6 cm x 9.1 m (3 in x 10 yd), and each box contains 4 rolls. For patients with fragile skin, consider Micropore S Silicone Surgical Tape, which uses a strong but gentle silicone adhesive to provide secure fixation while minimizing damage to skin.
