3M Micropore Medical Tape 12mm — Box of 24 (1530-0)
The 3M Micropore Medical Tape 12mm (1530-0) is a highly versatile and gentle paper tape designed for precision securement in clinical environments. This 12mm narrow width is specifically suited for small-scale applications, such as securing facial dressings, pediatric IV lines, or lightweight tubing where a larger tape would be cumbersome. As part of the trusted 3M Micropore range, it provides a reliable level of adhesion while prioritizing skin health, making it an essential supply for patients with fragile or "at-risk" skin.
Constructed with a porous, non-woven backing, this tape is exceptionally breathable. This allows moisture to evaporate and air to circulate, which helps maintain skin integrity and prevents maceration during extended wear. The hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive is formulated to be kind to the skin, significantly reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. Its gentle removal process minimizes skin stripping, which is critical for patients requiring frequent dressing changes. This bulk pack contains 24 economical rolls, each measuring 12mm wide by 9.1m long, providing a high-volume solution for medical practices, clinics, and home care kits.
