Indications for using 3M Transpore Tape:

Securing tubing and devices (e.g., catheters, I.V. tubing)
Anchoring bulky dressings
When tape width must be customized

Transpore Clear Tape Application Instructions

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, 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.

3M Transpore Porous Tape Removal

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

Loosen edges of tape. If necessary, press a small piece of tape onto a corner to start an edge of the tape.
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.
As tape is removed, continue supporting newly exposed skin.

Security question 7+ 2 =

Why do we have an expiration date for tapes? What happens when a tape “expires”?

Leigh - 9/26/2015 4:06:54 AM

Although an expiration date is not required for surgical tapes in the U.S., an expiration date is required by a number of other countries. You might think of it as a “best quality if used by….”. In general, we do not expect changes in performance shortly after the expiration date, but 3M ensures performance within that time frame.

The recommended shelf life for Transpore tape is 3 years under normal storage conditions.

Is Transpore tape sterile? Can it be sterilized?

Kathy - 9/26/2015 4:04:49 AM

3M Surgical tapes are sold clean, not sterile. Transpore tape may be sterilized by ethylene oxide but NOT by steam (autoclave). Although 3M provides these guidelines, it is up to the facility to ensure sterility.

At this time, Sterrad™ processing with hydrogen peroxide is not recommended for Transpore tape. Hope that helps.
