What to buy with 3M Transpore Surgical Tape


How to apply 3M Transpore 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, 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 tape without tension, gently but firmly stroking the surface to maximize adhesion
    • Tape should extend at least one-half inch beyond the dressing
    • 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:
    1. Place first section of tape without tension onto skin on one side of the dressing, gently pressing downward
    2. With one hand, secure tape on one edge of the dressing while slightly stretching next section of tape over the dressing
    3. Secure tape on opposite edge of the dressing
    4. 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 3M Platic Tape?

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

  1. Loosen edges of 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

Question

Leigh     09/26/2015

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

Answer

Customer Service    09/26/2015

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.

02

Question

Kathy     09/26/2015

Is Transpore tape sterile? Can it be sterilized? 

Answer

Customer Service    12/13/2018

3M Surgical tapes are sold clean but 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.
