3M Nexcare Transparent Tape is an adhesive tape that offers maximum security and breathability to promote healing. It also helps in the practical application of gauze and bandages. This is because the material used for healing is adhered with a tape that holds its adhesive for 24 to 48 hours.
Likewise, its microporous surface allows the necessary gas exchange to keep the skin dry, favouring the evaporation of moisture that can accumulate around wounds. This condition contributes to the prevention of infections and improves healing time.
Removing this plaster is also very easy, as when pulled firmly, it comes off without leaving a trace of glue. It is also skin-friendly.
It is made of transparent waterproof plastic, which allows it to get wet without worrying about the wound coming into contact with liquids. In addition, it is highly sterile to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and impurities, which favours the asepsis of wounds and burns.
Being transparent makes it easy to observe the wound, skin condition or the correct positioning of devices such as cannulae, catheters and fluid tubes. This makes it possible to monitor the user's condition and optimise working time in care centres.
It is easy to tear by hand. It is only necessary to exert adequate pressure in the desired direction to obtain the cut, which can be vertical or horizontal. This facilitates the work of bandages and dressings in health care wards.
Its size and strength are suitable for application in different places, such as the face or very delicate skin (which will not cause discomfort or leave residues).
These are some of the characteristics of this transparent tape made by 3M to provide an easy-to-use, resistant and very respectful tape for the most delicate skins.
