3M Transpore Transparent Plastic Tape 50mm (1527-2), Box of 6

The 3M Transpore Transparent Plastic Tape 50mm (1527-2) is a versatile, wide-format surgical tape designed for clinical applications that require a strong hold and easy customization. With a substantial 5cm width, this tape is specifically engineered to provide a broad anchoring surface for large-scale clinical needs, such as securing extensive post-surgical dressings or stabilizing heavy medical devices. Its transparent nature allows for continuous visual monitoring of the skin or device position without the need for tape removal.

A hallmark of the Transpore range is its bi-directional tearability. The perforated plastic film can be easily torn by hand both lengthwise and crosswise, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly create custom widths or lengths at the bedside without scissors. The hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive provides high initial adhesion to both skin and tubing, ensuring a secure and reliable bond. Its porous construction supports skin health by allowing for ventilation and moisture escape. This bulk box contains 6 rolls, each measuring 50mm wide by 9.1m long, making it an essential high-volume supply for emergency departments, surgical suites, and intensive care units.
