Frequently Bought Together


How to apply 3M Transpore Medical Tape?

  • Tape should be applied without tension to clean, dry skin.
  • A clipper may be used to remove hair, if necessary.
  • To protect at-risk skin, 3M Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film may be applied and when thoroughly dry, the tape may be applied over it.
  • In general, do not encircle a limb completely with tape.
  • If distention is anticipated, use a tape that stretches or a self-adherent wrap to secure the dressing or tubing.

General Taping:

  • Apply the 3m transpore tape without tension, gently but firmly stroking the surface to maximize adhesion.
  • Tape should extend at least one-half inch beyond the dressing.
  • Transpore medical tape should not be pulled or stretched when applied.
  • If swelling does occur, loosen and re-fasten or replace tape to relieve the tension.

When compression is needed:

  • Place first section of tape without tension onto skin on one side of the dressing, gently pressing downward.
  • With one hand, secure tape on one edge of the dressing while slightly stretching next section of tape over the dressing.
  • Secure tape on opposite edge of the dressing.
  • Press remaining tape onto skin without tension. Compression should come from the multiple layers of dressing material, not from excessive tension in the tape. Skin distention under tape may result in blistering and should be relieved as soon as possible.

When distention is anticipated:

  • Foam tapes generally stretch in all directions; however, non-woven soft cloth tapes, such as 3M Medipore Soft Cloth Tape, and 3M Medipore H Soft Cloth Tape have more stretch in the cross-direction and on the bias.
  • The direction of the stretch should be considered when securing a dressing or tubing to an area that is at high risk for distention, edema, hematoma formation, or movement.
  • Anecdotally, applying soft cloth tape parallel to the incision appears to be associated with fewer skin tension injuries than taping perpendicular to the incision.

How to remove this Surgical Tape?

Proper transpore medical tape removal is critical in reducing the occurrence of skin trauma.

  1. Loosen edges of white plastic tape. If necessary, press a small piece of tape onto a corner to start an edge of the tape.
  2. Stabilize the skin with one finger. Remove tape “low and slow” in direction of hair growth, keeping it close to skin surface and pulled back over itself. Removing tape at an angle will pull at the epidermis increasing risk of mechanical trauma.
  3. As tape is removed, continue supporting newly exposed skin

Frequently Bought Together

How long should you leave surgical tape on after surgery?

Surgical tape usually falls off within 7 to 10 days. If it has not fallen off after 10 days, contact your healthcare provider before taking it off yourself. If you are told to remove the tape, put mineral oil or petroleum jelly on a cotton ball. Gently rub the tape until it is removed.

How can I get tape to let go of my gloves?

We tend to hold tape tightly, especially when tearing it off the roll and when gauging where we plan to put the tape. Because the tapes have pressure sensitive adhesives, when we hold them tightly, they stick even more to our gloves. But, the adhesives were designed to release from gloves so try holding the tape a little less tightly, and it will usually “let go”.

What is the difference between Micropore and transpore tape?

Transpore White tape has higher initial and longer term adhesion to dry skin and slightly lower adhesion to damp skin than Micropore tape. Although Transpore White tape is a gentle tape, Micropore tape may be slightly more gentle if applied to dry skin.
