3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 100mm (1528-4), Box of 3

Description

The 3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 100mm (1528-4) is a specialized, high-stretch foam tape engineered for medical applications that require a combination of significant coverage, cushioning, and compression. At a substantial 100mm (4-inch) width, this tape is designed for the securement of large dressings and medical devices on difficult-to-tape areas, such as major joints, rounded limbs, or abdominal sites. Its unique closed-cell foam construction provides multi-directional stretch, allowing the tape to expand and contract with body movement and accommodate post-operative swelling.

Microfoam is widely utilized in surgical and orthopedic care due to its ability to provide gentle yet effective compression, assisting in hemostasis and edema management. The hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive is pressure-sensitive and provides a reliable bond on irregular surfaces while remaining gentle upon removal. The cushioned backing offers an extra layer of protection against friction and external pressure, helping to maintain skin integrity. This box contains 3 rolls, each 100mm wide by 5m (stretched), making it a vital resource for clinical settings managing complex wounds or large-scale surgical securement.

Common Clinical Uses

• Large Dressing Fixation — Ideal for securing abdominal dressings or large gauze pads on the chest and back.
• Post-Operative Compression — Provides gentle, uniform pressure over surgical sites to manage swelling and support healing.
• Joint & Extremity Support — Excellent for taping knees, shoulders, and thighs where wide coverage and flexibility are paramount.
• Cushioning & Protection — Acts as a soft barrier to protect vulnerable skin from medical device pressure or friction.

Features

• Multi-Directional Stretch — Conforms easily to any body contour and adjusts to physiological changes like swelling.
• Superior Cushioning — Thick foam backing provides a protective layer that absorbs impact and reduces friction.
• Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free — Safe for use on patients with sensitive skin or known latex allergies.
• Water-Resistant — Maintains its adhesive integrity even in moist environments or during basic hygiene routines.
