3M Micropore Surgical Tape, 2.5cm x 5m

Product Information

But if you’re looking for something that works better and lasts longer—and doesn’t need to be replaced as often—you can also opt for Micropore surgical tape or Bioclusive tape, both made by 3M. This one is simple. All you need to do is clean your skin with alcohol and then apply micropore tape over your incision or wound (or whatever part of your body you want covered). The color of micropore tape depends largely on its width; most brands offer options ranging from 1/2 inch wide (for small cuts) up to 2 inches wide (for larger wounds).

There are a number of different types of micropore tapes, each with their own unique qualities. The most common is simple Scotch® brand cellophane tape, which is easy to find and relatively inexpensive. Leukotape P is very popular among runners as well as people who wear high heels frequently. It has been proven to reduce blistering when used correctly! The tape should only be worn for up to seven days after surgery, but it may also be used for up to five days for wounds or other medical issues that aren’t actively healing.

Though some people find micropore tape more irritating than traditional adhesive bandages, many find its performance worth it for cuts on their fingers or toes. Those with diabetes are also able to use micropore tape on their finger tips. But most people report that they only have problems when they leave micropore tape on their skin past five days, so it may just depend on your particular body chemistry as well.

The natural tape contains no latex, but some people may still be allergic even if they’re not actually allergic to latex. As a general rule, it’s not a good idea to wear micropore tape longer than that. It can slow down healing, prevent oxygen from reaching injured tissue, and cause skin irritation if worn too long. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.The thinness of micropore tape makes it more comfortable than other tapes, so you can wear it for longer periods of time without having to worry about excessive inflammation or pain from constriction. But let’s face it – making your own isn’t always ideal or practical. Making your own micropore tape means having to find a roll of medical grade adhesive tape that doesn’t contain latex.
