Start with clean, dry skin. 3M Medipore H Soft Cloth Surgical Tape sticks best to clean, dry surfaces so try to minimize moist conditions as much as possible. Touch the sticky surface of the tape as little as possible. Place the Medipore H tape without tension onto the skin. Encircling a limb completely with tape may become hazardous to blood flow. The adhesive on the Medipore H surgical tape is "pressure sensitive" meaning it's designed to adhere best when gentle, but firm, finger or hand pressure is applied rubbing the tape into place.  Your skin has bumps, Even smooth skin has peaks and valleys. Laying a piece of tape on the skin without applying any pressure only provides a superficial adherence at best. Usually, the stickier the tape, the less pressure you should need. Gentle strokes along the tape allows the adhesive to be exposed to more of the skin surface. Medipore H Surgical Tape is Soft durable tape that is both latex free and hypoallergenic. Preferred in hospitals around the world, 3M Medipore H is a trusted surgical tape.
