3M™ Micropore™ Tape, 1530-1

Reliable adhesion

Good initial and long-term (72 hours) adhesion to skin.

Easy to apply

Paper tape can be torn by hand.

Provides multi-purpose securement

Use for reliable securement for blood draws, lightweight dressings, secondary securement of I.V. lines and non-critical tubes.

Apply tape to skin without pulling or stretching

Pulling or stretching during application may result in tension blisters as tape attempts to return to its original state.

Apply firm pressure to activate the adhesive and fully contact skin

Acrylate adhesives are pressure sensitive.

To remove, loosen the tape’s leading edge

Do not pull the tape perpendicular to the skin. For tape that is strongly adhered to the skin, consider using a medical-grade adhesive remover to soften the adhesive along the peel line.

Remove the tape “low and slow”

Stabilize the skin with one finger at the peel line and continuously move it along the peel line (ideally in the direction of hair growth) to support the skin during removal.
