Q: Is 3M™ Micropore™ Medical Tape natural rubber latex-free?
A: Yes.
Q: How can I increase 3M™ Micropore™ Medical Tapetape adhesion?
A: The key concepts to maximize adhesion are:
- Start with clean, dry skin
- Touch the sticky surface of the tape as little as possible
- Apply sufficient pressure to the tape to get the adhesive into the nooks and crannies of the skin
- Cover adequate surface area so that the tape can support the tubing or dressing
- Obtain full contact between the tape and the skin or tubing so that moisture cannot slip between the two and loosen the tape
- Most adhesives stick best to clean, dry surfaces so try to minimize moist conditions as much as possible.
- Remove substances that contain emollients or oils, such as most moisturizers and adhesive tape removers.
- If the skin is very oily, use a mild soap and water to remove the excess oil and pat dry. An alcohol wipe may also be used to remove the excess oil, but since it is very drying, it should be used with care
- To protect at-risk skin, 3M™ Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film may be used under the tape.
- If you are using a prep solution, let it dry completely before applying the tape
