3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 50mm (1528-2), Box of 6

The 3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 50mm (1528-2) is a high-performance, elastic foam tape engineered for medical applications where multi-directional stretch and cushioning are essential. With a substantial 50mm (2-inch) width, this tape provides superior coverage and anchoring strength, making it the ideal choice for securing large dressings, compression bandages, or medical devices on challenging anatomical sites like joints, skin folds, and rounded limbs. Unlike standard tapes, its unique closed-cell foam construction allows it to expand and contract with the body’s natural movements.

Microfoam is particularly valued in surgical, cardiovascular, and orthopedic care for its ability to accommodate swelling and provide gentle compression to assist in hemostasis or edema control. The hypoallergenic, latex-free acrylate adhesive is pressure-sensitive and designed to provide a secure yet gentle bond on irregular profiles. Its water-resistant properties ensure the tape remains effective in moist conditions, while the cushioned backing provides an extra layer of protection for the skin. This box contains 6 rolls, each measuring 50mm wide by 5m (stretched), providing an essential supply for clinics and hospitals requiring specialized, flexible securement.

• Cushioning & Skin Protection — Provides a soft barrier to protect skin from friction or to cushion heavy medical devices against the body.
