3M Medical Tape Microfoam Paper 1" X 10 Yards Nonsterile (#1533-1, Sold Per Piece)

A week after abdominal surgery that left me with a 10min long incision down the front of my belly I went to see the surgeon for removal of the drain tubes and the wound dressing. After that was removed he said that I needed to get this 3M brand medical tape (he insisted on this brand, no substitute) and cover the wound with it for the next two weeks. He had some there and I left the Dr office with this covering the scar. I ordered it in the Dr office and thanks to prime I had it the next day. I used it to cover the scar and the two holes left in my abdomen from the drain tubes. It was amazing in that there does not appear to be an aggressive adhesive on the back but whatever is there is really tenacious and it sticks to skin well and will hold up to showering and movement. I was a bit worried that removing the tape was going to be an issue but although it sticks well it is easy to remove without harming the scar or surrounding skin. A hidden benefit is the tape seems to blend in with my skin. I showed my wife the tape on my belly and she was amazed at how it completely masked the scar, I mean invisible. If you need to hide a scar or even a tattoo this might be the solution you are seeking. Last week as part of my rehabilitation I overdid it and went for a 5 mile walk in the wrong pair of sneakers. I develop a big quarter sized blister on the bottom of my foot. I remembered I had this tape and figured why not cover the blister and we what happens. Well the tape stayed stuck on the bottom of my foot for three days with sock and shoes on and the blister never grew and popped like they normally do. Based on this experience I’ll be stocking this tape in my medical stash for the care and prevention of blisters and abrasions. Amazing stuff

This is wonderful medical tape. It stays on super well, even with showering and yardwork. The color blends perfectly with my skin so well that it almost disappears, even on my face. The 1" size works well to slap a little square of sterile guaze on it as a do-it-yourself bandage, and it stays on so much better than regular bandaids.

Great way to help hide a dressing, especially on the face or neck. Invaluable after skin cancer surgeries to keep the dressing in place without the usual white adhesive tape. Sticks very well, does leave a little residue but that cleans off pretty easily.

Unlike some of the knockoffs this tape has sufficient stick, and is strong enough for my purpose (mouth taping), but tears and peels off easily.

Allows the skin to get air and color is better than white one because it cuts down on noticeablility!

As a patient that requires gauze packing of dialysis punctures, This tape seems to be better that the White tape type they use normally. It comes off much easier but still is strong enough to stop the bleeding and its easier to take off the next day.

This feels as good as what I got from my surgeon after a major surgery! It doesn’t fall off even with washing and bathing. Exceptional hold. I’ve already added another to my cart. The color is excellent and not too obvious which helps not draw attention to the scar. Grateful for the ability to use it and my surgeon was even impressed by it. 👍🏻👍🏻

My derm always uses tape that makes me break out in a rash. This tape is a must in my first-aid box! Like the medium tan color, better than blue or white.
