Transpore 3M Transpore Surgical Medical First-Aid Plastic Tape 1/2" x 10 Yards Non-Sterile - 12 Rolls #1527-0

First, this tape is 1/2" wide, while the 1" wide size is more commonly used. It was a bit jarring when I found I'd ordered this width, but it's turned out to be a non-issue. This is a 3M product, which tells me that it's going to perform. How? Mainly to protect surgical dressings for bathing. I use kitchen plastic wrap to cover the dressing, then apply the plastic tape around all the edges to keep the plastic wrap in place. Note that this tape is NOT "waterproof" to the extent that no water can ever get under it. In fact, I find that a little dampness around the edges of the tape helps remove it. But it IS moderately flexible, so it will move with the body part you apply it to. Plastic tape's adhesives are stubborn, and if left on the skin for too long they can cause irritation or skin damage. For MY purpose (covering dressings for bathing) the tape is only on the skin for 30-40 minutes, and it comes off easily without damaging the skin. Other uses for this kind of tape, such as for securing a dressing to the skin, can be problematic, so use the tape carefully, and keep an eye out for irritation.

This tape works really well for securing my husband's feeding tube. It comes off very easy with no sticking

Good product, shipped in a plastic bag (no box) severely CRUSHED and horrible. So now it doesn't go where I need it to store in multiple places. How was MY money, did it spend okay? Maybe find a different seller.

This tape protects my sore toes and finger. It’s not as waterproof or durable as white fabric tape, but it is transparent and therefore much less obvious, and its pores prevent my skin from becoming overly damp.

I had a severe finger injury that required reattachment. The doctor gave me this tape without telling me the trademark name other than 3M. It worked great to protect the injured finger (I'm a bassist musician and still use the tape for strenuous rehearsals). When I ran out, I couldn't' find it anywhere in pharmacies or medical supply stores. This is the exact same stuff - protects well, has similar tactile qualities to skin (doesn't stick or slide on my bass strings), and comes off clean and easily. The original stuff I had was 1 inch wide, but I was usually tearing it to this width to apply to my wound anyway. Good, high quality stuff, great price and quantity.

Excelente producto, recomendable al 100%

Wouldn't buy again. It leaves glue residue on skin.

Yes, who else uses surgical for sewing? Embroiderers. It's perfect for holding down my fabric to embroider on.

This tape has a pretty great adhesive, but that can be painful on the skin sometimes. It also isn’t wide so it’s better for smaller things.

Muy buen producto

Great tape. But i didn't notice that the tape is only half the width of Regular tape.

My favourite tape for lash extensions. I have been a certified lash tech for 3 years, have ordered from all kinds of high end lash suppliers, but this one is by far my favourite and go to! Sticky, but not too sticky.

This tape is not your typical medical tape, it has helped me tremendously when I had toe surgery back in June, with given one tape I ran out and then I bought this tape it secured the gauze really well as it has a lot of durability to it def be buying this tape again
