3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 25mm (1528-1), Box of 12

The 3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 25mm (1528-1) is a specialized medical tape engineered for securement in high-movement areas and applications requiring gentle compression. Unlike traditional paper or cloth tapes, Microfoam is constructed from a closed-cell foam that provides multi-directional stretch. This unique flexibility allows the tape to conform effortlessly to complex anatomical contours, such as joints, skin folds, and rounded limbs, ensuring a secure hold without restricting patient movement or causing "edge lift."

Microfoam is particularly valued in surgical and emergency settings for its ability to provide cushioning and compression. It is highly effective for securing bulky dressings or anchoring medical devices where swelling is anticipated, as the foam backing expands and contracts with the body. The adhesive is hypoallergenic and latex-free, designed to be gentle on the skin while providing a reliable bond. Its water-resistant properties ensure that the tape remains secure even in the presence of moisture. This bulk pack includes 12 rolls, each measuring 25mm wide by 5m (stretched), making it a versatile and essential tool for post-operative care, sports medicine, and general clinical use.

Common Clinical Uses
