Reviews
3M Blenderm Surgical Tape is a transparent, waterproof medical tape used to protect dressings and secure devices when a reliable barrier is required. This hypoallergenic, latex free tape provides an occlusive plastic layer that helps shield wounds and fixation sites from external moisture, fluids and contaminants. It is suitable for short term use on sensitive skin where clear visibility of the underlying area is important.
