Transpore™ Surgical Tape - 2" x 10 yds, Transparent, 6 rl/bx, 10 bx/cs

Please note: All prices are for cases.

The Solventum Transpore™ Surgical Tape (1527-2) is a professional-grade, transparent plastic medical tape engineered for the high-strength securement of dressings and clinical devices. This tape features a specifically perforated polyethylene film that allows for easy, bi-directional hand tearing, enabling clinicians to customize the tape length and width rapidly without the use of scissors. The high-tack, hypoallergenic, pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive is formulated to deliver a reliable, long-term bond for up to 72 hours, maintaining its integrity even when applied to damp or pre-prepped skin surfaces.

This specific 2-inch width configuration is the standard institutional size for securing medium-to-large medical devices, such as IV lines, urinary catheters, and bulky wound dressings. The transparent nature of the film provides a critical clinical advantage by allowing for continuous visual monitoring of the underlying skin and the securement site without requiring tape removal. Its breathable, macro-perforated construction facilitates the exchange of air and moisture vapor, supporting the maintenance of the natural skin barrier and reducing the risk of maceration during extended wear in acute and long-term care settings.

Key Features

• Standard 2-Inch Width: Provides a robust surface area for the stabilization of medical tubing and secondary surgical dressings.
• Bi-Directional Perforated Film: Engineered for clean, straight tearing by hand in both horizontal and vertical directions for rapid clinical application.
• Continuous Site Visualization: Transparent material allows for immediate identification of complications or skin changes at the securement site.
• High Initial Tack: Specifically designed to provide superior initial and long-term security on both dry and damp skin surfaces.
• Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Clinically tested to be non-sensitizing, making it suitable for a wide range of patient populations.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Device Anchoring: Ideal for the primary securement of IV catheters, urinary catheters, and non-critical medical tubing.
• General Surgical Dressings: Provides reliable stabilization for medium-sized post-operative dressings and surgical gauze.
• Clinical Monitoring Protocols: Indicated for use where visual inspection of the insertion point or periwound skin is required.
• Custom Width Taping: Useful in scenarios where the clinician needs to tear the 2-inch width into thinner strips for precision multi-point fixation.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

Do not use this product as the primary securement method for critical life-support equipment, such as endotracheal tubes or arterial lines, where a high-strength, high-tack adhesive specifically rated for critical life support is mandated.

Do not apply this tape directly to infected wound beds, deep cavity wounds, or areas of active hemorrhage.

Warnings & Precautions

Do not apply Transpore™ tape under tension. Applying medical tape with "stretch" can cause mechanical tension-induced skin injury, including localized blistering or epidermal stripping once the tape attempts to return to its original state.

Ensure the application site is clean and dry before use. While this product is designed to hold on damp skin, the presence of topical ointments, oily residues, or heavy moisture will significantly degrade the initial performance of the pressure-sensitive acrylate adhesive.

This tape has a higher adhesion level than paper tapes. For patients with known extremely fragile skin, clinicians should use extra caution or consider a gentler adhesive option like Micropore™ to minimize the risk of skin tears.

To remove properly, loosen the tape's leading edge and remove "low and slow" in the direction of hair growth while stabilizing the skin with the other hand. Do not pull the tape perpendicular to the skin.

Store the product in a cool, dry environment (50-80°F) to maintain adhesive integrity. Exposure to extreme heat or high humidity may affect product performance and shelf life.
