Micropore Surgical Tape, White,1.25 cm x 9.1m, 24 Count

Excellent

I was worried it might be a knock off but as far as I can tell it is the real deal. It smells like micropore tape a d is super sticky like 3M micropore tape. I would recommend this. It is a good with for all kinds of uses and is a good quality

For me, the Micropore 1/2" white (paper) surgical tape is better than Band-Aids! To make the pad, I fold over a few layers. Then a strip of the tape makes the strip of the Band-Aid. This tape is so flexible that it contours well to my fingers (where I usually use it). I particularly like the fact that the tape tears easily. It is paper, and fairly thin paper at that. Quite porous, too. I have one strip of it wrapped around an empty pill bottle. My gel pen writes on it easily, so I'm using it to label the bottle. The tape does not leave a gummy residue. I don't know how, but it's a great feature. :-) Also, it withstands showering very well. I have and use these tapes from the 3M family: Micropore, Durapore, Transpore and Medipore. They are all amazing. I wish I'd found them before a lifetime of using adhesive tape and Band-Aids. Collectively they solve every problem I encounter, relating to taping on various parts of my body (and occasionally other things) for various purposes. Sometimes I tape to hold a tube to me. Sometimes to avoid friction from shoes. Sometimes to close a wound. And so on. These four cover all bases. --Eben Visher

I love this stuff as I use it when sewing to `fix and stay` layers of fabric within an embroidery frame. It is so secure and does not gum up the needle. The product is also super for what it is intended for within the medical profession. It holds down a dressing beautifully - quick and easy usually without a reaction to the surface skin, but, I have taken to using it for my embroidery so, for me, it has two very valuable functions. Not expensive either. The choice of widths available is also appreciated. Thank you for an extremely useful product.

Okay, so full disclosure -- I do not buy this stuff for the intended purpose. I use this surgical tape for sewing (especially for temporary "pinning" where I need to just lay something in place long enough to sew it down). It's a great tape for holding things in place temporarily and if you sew over it, it's no big deal. It doesn't gum up the needle or leave a residue on the fabric. It's also much cheaper than buying tailors' tape! This is a standard paper tape. You can tear it with your hands with very little effort, or use it in a standard tape dispenser. Although I don't use it "medically" I can tell you it's awesome for sewing and embroidery work!

I use this to help keep my colonoscopy bag on. It does the job but I needed a wider tape.
