3M Micropore Tan Surgical Tape 2.5 cm × 9.1 m (12 Rolls)

3M Micropore tape 2.5 cm is a gentle, breathable paper surgical tape in a discreet tan colour. This box contains 12 rolls of Micropore tape 2.5 cm × 9.1 m (REF 1533-1). It is widely used to secure dressings and to tape the nose under external nasal splints after rhinoplasty.

What Is 3M Micropore Tape?

3M Micropore is a microporous paper tape with a gentle adhesive. It sticks securely but removes easily, which makes it suitable for fragile and sensitive skin and for repeated taping of the same area. The tan version blends in with the skin, so it is a popular choice for the face.

Why Use Micropore Tape After Rhinoplasty?

After rhinoplasty the nasal skin is taped to help control swelling and support the new shape, and the tape is often left in place under the external splint. Micropore tape 2.5 cm is gentle enough for this delicate skin and removes cleanly, so it is a standard choice for surgeons and nurses.

Choosing the Right Width

The 2.5 cm width covers more skin with each strip, which makes it the practical choice for securing gauze, larger dressings and external nasal splints. For fine taping on the nose and eyelids, the narrower 1.25 cm tape is often preferred. Both widths share the same gentle, breathable paper backing and discreet tan colour, so they can be used together.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• Taping the nose after rhinoplasty
• Securing external nasal splints
• Fixing dressings and gauze
• Securing tubes and catheters on sensitive skin

How to Use the Micropore Tape 2.5 cm

1. Clean and dry the skin before application.
2. Tear the Micropore tape 2.5 cm strip to the required length.
3. Apply without stretching and smooth it down gently.
4. Remove slowly, peeling the tape back along the skin.

Storage

Store the rolls in their box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the adhesive in good condition.
