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

I've been using this tape for a year because I am a mouth breather, using a CPAP machine. I simply use a 3 inch piece, fold one end down, purse my lips a little and put the tape on. It even stays on when I have moisturizer or oil on my face. And I can take it off at least once in the night, but two times I have to get a new piece. It does not leave any sticky substance on my face, or if it ever does it's minor. I also use it on my fingers tips because my skin gets raw from allergic reactions to soaps. I put vitamin E on a Nexcare Band-Aid, put it on my finger tip then secure the Band-Aid with this tape. It may leave a little peripheral gooey glue but it's easy to come off. Definitely recommend this tape.

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.

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.

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. 👍🏻👍🏻

I really like this tape, but was surprised at how small the roll actually is for over five dollars. I bought it to use with my CPAP machine. It sticks well and is easy to remove, but I don’t know how long the roll will last because of its small size.

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!
