(2) Rolls of 3M Micropore White Paper Tape - 1" x 10 yards #1530-1 (Box is Not Included - unless you buy 12 rolls)
This tape is a latex-free, hypoallergenic paper tape that is ideal for frequent dressing changes. Once removed, minimal adhesion is left behind, which reduces the potential for irritation. This microporous tape is porous for breathability and improved healing. For home use, Micropore medical tape is hypoallergenic; thereby accommodating sensitive individuals. It serves well as a home wound care bandage.
