Solventum™ Transpore™ Transparent Surgical Tape (formerly 3M™ Transpore™) - 1 in x 10 yd (Box of 12)
Transparent, Perforated Plastic Tape for Reliable Multi-Purpose Securement - Box of 12

Solventum™ Transpore™ Transparent Surgical Tape (formerly 3M™ Transpore™ Surgical Tape, 1527 Series) is a multi-purpose, transparent plastic tape that delivers reliable securement for a wide range of clinical applications. It provides good initial and long-term adhesion to dry skin for up to 72 hours, and its transparent design allows for visibility of the site underneath.

The porous, perforated tape is breathable and features a straight, bi-directional tear that makes it easy to handle and apply while wearing gloves. Made with a plastic backing not made with natural rubber latex, Transpore™ tape is ideal for blood draws, securing lightweight dressings, secondary securement of IV lines and tubing, and securing non-critical tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Solventum™ Transpore™ the same as 3M™ Transpore™?
Yes. 3M™ Transpore™ Surgical Tape is transitioning to the Solventum™ brand. The product, specifications, and quality remain unchanged.

How should Transpore™ tape be applied?
Apply the tape to the skin without pulling or stretching it, as tension can cause blisters when the tape tries to return to its original shape. Then apply firm pressure to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive and ensure full contact with the skin.

How should the tape be removed?
Loosen the tape's leading edge, then remove it "low and slow," keeping it close to the skin rather than pulling it perpendicular. Stabilize the skin with one finger at the peel line, moving along with it in the direction of hair growth. For strongly adhered tape, a medical-grade adhesive remover or hand sanitizer can help soften the adhesive along the peel line.

Is Transpore™ suitable for fragile or at-risk skin?
Transpore™ tape is ideal for intact skin. For at-risk skin, use a barrier such as Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film, or consider Micropore™ S Surgical Tape, which is designed to minimize skin damage.
