3M Micropore S Silicone Medical Tape, 2 Inch x 5-1/2 Yard, Blue

The 3M Micropore S Silicone Medical Tape is a gentle, skin-friendly fixation tape designed to secure dressings, tubing, and devices while protecting delicate skin. Its advanced silicone adhesive makes it an excellent choice for patients with fragile, sensitive, or aging skin, as well as anyone who needs a tape that holds securely yet removes without pain. This blue tape measures 2 inches wide by 5-1/2 yards long for versatile everyday use.

What sets Micropore S apart is its silicone technology, which delivers reliable adhesion for both short-term and longer-term wear of up to 48 hours, while still removing cleanly without disrupting fragile skin layers or causing undue discomfort. The tape is easy to work with: you can reposition it during application to get the placement just right and neatly tear it by hand, so no scissors are needed. That combination of secure hold and gentle removal makes it ideal for repeated dressing changes.

This product is available in multiple options, including a single roll, a box of 6, and a case of 60, so you can order the right quantity for home care or a clinical setting. Each roll is individually packaged for single-patient use, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Many medical tapes like this are FSA and HSA eligible.
