# 3M Micropore S Surgical Tape

A silicone-adhesive surgical tape that holds dressings and devices securely, then lifts away cleanly. Built for patients with sensitive, compromised, or fragile skin who cannot take another harsh removal. It comes in 1.5 yard and 5.5 yard rolls, sold on their own or in a box of 12.

- Silicone Adhesive
- Hypoallergenic
- Breathable
- Repositionable
- Tears by Hand

## Why It Works

### Silicone Adhesive Security
The silicone adhesive keeps dressings and devices in place with a dependable hold, yet releases without the tug of a traditional aggressive tape.

### Breathable and Hypoallergenic
A breathable design lets skin breathe naturally, while the hypoallergenic formulation helps minimize irritation during wear.

## Clean removal that respects fragile skin

Micropore S is made for the moments when the skin underneath the tape matters as much as the securement itself. It comes away cleanly without disrupting the delicate layers of at-risk skin.

- Removes without disrupting fragile skin layers
- Suited to sensitive, compromised, or at-risk skin
- Secures dressings, devices, and wound-care needs

## Made for real application

### Reposition as Needed
The tape can be lifted and repositioned to find the right placement, so a first-time application does not have to be perfect.

### Tears Neatly by Hand
It tears by hand for quick, clean application at the bedside, with no scissors required to size a strip.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What makes 3M Micropore S different from regular surgical tape?
Micropore S uses a silicone adhesive instead of a standard acrylic one. That gives it a secure hold with a much gentler release, which is why it is chosen for sensitive and at-risk skin.

### Is Micropore S good for sensitive or fragile skin?
Yes. It is designed specifically for patients with sensitive, compromised, or fragile skin. The silicone adhesive and hypoallergenic build help minimize irritation and skin damage.

### Does the tape leave residue or damage skin on removal?
It is made to remove cleanly without disrupting the fragile layers of the skin underneath, which helps protect at-risk skin during dressing changes.

### Can the tape be repositioned after it is applied?
Yes. Micropore S can be lifted and repositioned for optimal placement, so you can adjust it without needing a fresh strip.

### What sizes does Micropore S surgical tape come in?
It is offered in a 1 inch width and two lengths, 1.5 yards and 5.5 yards. The 1.5 yard roll is sold on its own, and the 5.5 yard roll is sold on its own or in a box of 12.

### Do I need scissors to cut the tape?
No. The tape tears neatly by hand, so you can size a strip quickly during application without reaching for scissors.
