Precautions to consider before using Micropore Surgical Tape: Cleanliness: Start with a clean, unused roll of medical tape. The area where the tape is to be applied should be clean and dry. Avoid Stretching: Do not pull or stretch the tape as you apply it. This can cause discomfort and may affect the adhesive effectiveness. Skin Irritation: A test should be performed by an adult or under adult supervision if you are under the age of 16. Expiry Date and Damage: Do not use the test kit after the expiry date on the carton or if any components appear to be damaged or tampered with. Common side effects: Micropore Surgical Tape is generally safe to use. However, in rare cases, some people may experience skin irritation, such as redness or itching, where the tape is applied. An allergic reaction to the adhesive is also rare. There might be some discomfort or pain when removing the tape, especially for those with facial hair. If used for mouth taping during sleep, it may cause disrupted sleep due to irritation or difficulty breathing through the nose. 3M Micropore Tape is a specialist, silicone-based, hypoallergenic, first aid medical tape with bi-directional perforations for easy hand tearing and a gentle adhesive strength that’s kind to skin.
