Description
Transpore Surgical Tape 2″ (2-inch) is a versatile and essential medical tape, conveniently available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya. Manufactured by 3M (now Solventum), this transparent, perforated plastic tape is renowned for its easy, straight, bi-directional tear, allowing for quick and precise customization of tape width, even when wearing gloves. It offers good adhesion to skin and tubing, ensuring securement of heavier dressings, I.V. lines, catheters, and other medical devices. Transpore tape is hypoallergenic and not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for most skin types. Its transparent and porous nature allows for visualization of the skin underneath and promotes breathability, contributing to patient comfort. It’s also water-resistant, maintaining adhesion in moist conditions. A standard 2-inch roll typically measures 10 yards (approximately 9.1 meters) long.
