3M Nexcare Transpore First Aid Surgical Tape, 1 in x 10 yd, Clear

3M Nexcare Transpore First Aid Surgical Tape is a transparent, perforated plastic tape from 3M's Nexcare line, used for securing lightweight dressings, supporting blood draws, holding IV lines, and securing non-critical tubing. It is clear, so a dressing underneath can be checked without peeling the tape off, and its porous construction lets skin breathe. The roll is 1 in (2.54 cm) wide by 10 yd (9.144 m) long and tears straight in both directions, so it can be cut to length even with gloves on. It holds to dry skin for up to 72 hours, and the tape material is not made with natural rubber latex. Sold as one 1 in x 10 yd roll.

Removing the tape
