3M Micropore Surgical Tape, Tan, Multi-Purpose
A multi-purpose tan paper surgical tape used for blood draws, lightweight dressings and securing IV lines and non-critical tubing in general clinical care.
3M Micropore Surgical Tape is a multi-purpose medical paper tape supplied in a tan colour, designed to handle a broad range of everyday clinical securement tasks. It is commonly used for blood draws, where a gentle but reliable hold is needed over the puncture site, as well as for lightweight wound dressings that do not require a stronger adhesive tape.
Nurses and phlebotomists also rely on it for secondary securement of intravenous lines and other non-critical tubing, giving an extra layer of stability without adding bulk around the insertion site. Being a paper based tape, it is generally considered gentle on skin and suitable for frequent use across a wide patient population in general wards, outpatient clinics and home care settings.
This listing covers the tan colour variant within the wider 1530 Series range, and the product is noted as transitioning to the equivalent Solventum Micropore Surgical Tape. It remains a routine, high volume consumable stocked across hospital wards, clinics and phlebotomy departments for daily use.
