Please note: All prices are for cases.

The Solventum Micropore™ Surgical Tape (1530-0) is a professional-grade, white paper surgical tape specifically engineered for high-frequency clinical use on patients with sensitive or at-risk skin. As a highly breathable medical adhesive, it facilitates the essential exchange of air and moisture vapor, which significantly minimizes the risk of skin maceration and supports the maintenance of the natural skin barrier. The hypoallergenic, pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive is designed to provide reliable initial tack and long-term security for up to 72 hours while remaining gentle enough for atraumatic removal from fragile, geriatric, or pediatric skin.

This specific 1/2-inch width configuration is the narrowest standard institutional size, optimized for the precision securement of small dressings and medical devices in confined anatomical areas. Its conformable paper construction allows the tape to adapt easily to intricate body contours and joint movements without creating restrictive tension. The 1530-0 model is designed to maintain its adhesive integrity even on damp skin, making it a versatile and economical solution for general securement needs in specialized departments such as Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, and IV Therapy.

Key Features

• Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Formulated to be non-sensitizing and minimize the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patient populations.
• Superior Breathability: Porous paper backing prevents moisture buildup, promoting skin health during extended wear.
• Reliable Adhesion: Provides consistent initial and long-term (72-hour) bond strength on both dry and damp skin surfaces.
• Precision Format: 1/2-inch width allows for accurate placement in small or difficult-to-reach anatomical sites.
• Conformable Design: Adapts easily to body curves and joints to prevent skin dragging or restrictive movement.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Precision Dressing Securement: Ideal for securing small primary dressings, facial gauze, and non-adherent pads.
• Fragile and At-Risk Skin: Specifically indicated for geriatric and pediatric patients where standard adhesives may cause epidermal stripping.
• Ophthalmic and Facial Taping: Used for securing eye shields or patches due to its narrow profile and gentle removal.
• Secondary Device Fixation: Provides reliable securement for small-gauge IV lines, lightweight tubing, and non-critical medical leads.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications 

Do not use this tape as a primary securement method for critical life-support equipment, such as endotracheal tubes or arterial lines, where a high-strength, high-tack adhesive is clinically mandated to prevent accidental decannulation or displacement.

Do not apply this product directly to infected wound beds, deep cavity wounds, or areas of active hemorrhage where more specialized primary dressings are required.

Warnings and Precautions 

Do not apply Micropore™ tape under tension. Applying medical tape with "stretch" or pulling it tight across the skin can cause mechanical tension-induced skin injury, including localized blistering or epidermal stripping.

Ensure the application site is clean and dry prior to use. The presence of moisture, topical ointments, or oily residues will significantly degrade the performance of the pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive.

For patients with extremely fragile or "tissue-paper" skin, use a medical adhesive remover during the removal process to further minimize the risk of epidermal stripping or skin tears.

Store the product in a cool, dry environment. Exposure to extreme heat or high humidity can degrade the chemical properties of the adhesive over time, leading to premature failure or residue transfer upon removal.
