Why Choose Transpore Adhesive Tape?

The strength of Transpore tape lies in its balance between strong adhesion and skin sensitivity. Its perforated structure allows for optimal breathability, preventing skin maceration under the bandage. Being transparent, it allows healthcare professionals and first responders to monitor skin condition or device positioning without having to remove the tape. Additionally, its ability to tear easily in both directions (horizontal and vertical) makes it an ideal tool for emergency situations where speed is essential.

Features of Transpore Tape

• Hypoallergenic and Latex-Free: Ideal for sensitive skin, minimizing the risk of allergies or skin irritation.

• Breathable: Allows air to circulate, ensuring maximum comfort during prolonged wear.

• Crystal Transparency: Provides direct visibility of the application site or secured devices.

• Easy Hand-Tear: The perforated design allows for precise, effortless tearing in both directions, even while wearing gloves.

• Adhesion on Damp Skin: Maintains a stable hold even in the presence of moisture or light perspiration.

How to Apply Your Adhesive Tape

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the application area is clean. Although the tape adheres to damp skin, prior cleaning helps with long-lasting fixation.

2. Measure and Tear: Unroll the desired length. Tear the tape with a sharp motion vertically or horizontally depending on the required width.

3. Apply the Tape: Place the tape over the dressing or tubing, then press firmly along the entire length to activate the adhesive.

4. Smooth the Edges: Run your fingers over the tape to ensure full contact with the skin and prevent premature peeling.

Maintenance and Shelf Life

To maintain the effectiveness of the 3M adhesive, store the roll at room temperature in a dry place. Avoid intense heat sources or freezing, as extreme temperature variations could compromise the flexibility of the plastic and the strength of the glue.

Usage Tips for First Responders

Transpore tape is the perfect companion for securing Telfa non-adherent pads or sterile gauze pads. For first responders, its easy-tear feature allows for the rapid creation of custom fixation strips. It is also excellent for temporarily securing light splints or small medical devices such as IV tubing.
