3M Micropore S Silicone Medical Tape, 1 Inch x 1-1/2 Yard, Blue

3M Micropore S Silicone Medical Tape, 1 Inch x 1-1/2 Yard, Blue

The 3M Micropore S Silicone Medical Tape is a gentle, skin-friendly fixation tape designed for securing dressings, tubing, and devices on patients with fragile or sensitive skin. Its advanced silicone adhesive holds reliably yet removes cleanly, making it ideal for elderly patients, pediatric care, and anyone prone to skin tears or irritation from traditional tapes.

Because it uses a silicone adhesive, this tape provides both short-term and long-term (up to 48 hours) fixation while removing without disrupting fragile skin layers or causing undue pain. It's pliable and conformable, so it moves with the body, and it can be repositioned during application to get placement just right. When you're ready, simply tear each strip by hand with your fingertips—no scissors needed—for a clean, neat edge at any length you need.

This blue tape measures 1 inch x 1-1/2 yards per roll and is available in multiple purchase options—choose a single roll, a box of 100, or a case of 500 to match your needs. Each roll is individually packaged as a single-use item, which helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients. Medical tape is typically FSA/HSA eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes silicone tape different from paper or cloth tape?
A: The silicone adhesive grips securely but releases gently and cleanly, so it's far less likely to tear or irritate fragile skin when removed compared to standard tapes.

Q: How long can I leave the tape in place?
A: It provides reliable fixation for both short-term use and longer wear of up to 48 hours, depending on your needs.

Q: Can I reposition the tape after applying it?
A: Yes. The silicone adhesive allows you to lift and reposition the tape during application without losing its hold, so you can get placement exactly right.

Q: Do I need scissors to cut it?
A: No. The tape tears neatly by hand with your fingertips, letting you create strips at any length quickly.

Q: Why are the rolls individually packaged?
A: Each single-use roll is individually wrapped to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination and protect patients in clinical and home-care settings.
