3M Microfoam Surgical Tape 2" X 5.5 Yd./

Yes, this is meant for medical bandages. But as a handyman as well as a doctor I recognized that this tape is very good for a lot of things where you need a better grip. It is thicker than duct tape and is slightly spongy and fairly durable. For example portable vacuums made of plastic are often poorly balanced and it can be hard to keep a hold on the plastic grip for long. Wrap a layer of this on, and it is MUCH easier to grab. Some spray cans (cooking oil is a good example) are both heavier and very slippery. A layer of this tape gives you a sure grip on the can. As I said, it is fairly durable, but it will get dirty looking after a while. The adhesive is easy to pull off and replace, much easier than gorilla tape.

There are other tapes on the market similar to this tape, but this is the only tape of this width, and it does the job perfectly. Pull on it and stretch it a little when you are using it over joints, and let it have some stretching room and it will stay on a joint as it moves. It also stays where you put it, only comes off when you want it to come off, but comes off easily and completely.

While working in a hospital, I found other uses for this tape, which seems to hold up very well. I found uses for it at home as well. I’m using it to put a flat antenna And hold it up on the glass on a window and when moisture comes in, it doesn’t seem to affect it and it still holds up. I can peel it off and put it back in place and it still works. I used to use it to keep cabinets and other things closed around the hospital because it is strong, but I’m sure others could find other uses for that I have never thought of. Medical personnel over the shot I can’t remember everything I used it for because it’s been a while but it’s a nice thing to have in your toolbox. Keep it out of the heat..

Padded, great sticker and easy to use. Very happy with this product.

I use(d) 3M sterile, microfoam tape in ER, EMS, Shop, Home: temporary fixturing, traumatic wound care. Great. However, quite expensive.

My favorite tape to use for lash extensions. I use it in place of gel eyepads and it does not move!! Also good for clients with teary eyes, taping the eyelid etc. Super comfortable for the client

Love using these to do my lash mapping. It doesn’t slide off customers face. Best Buy everytime.

I bought this because I had a open wound in a place that normal bandaids just wouldn't stick. This stuff is waterproof has amazing hold and just all around good stuff. I have sensitive skin and typically get rashes easily. This did not give me a rash super quick but after using it got a week I did start to get irritated, no fault of the manufacturer. This will be my go to bandaid maker from now on.

I switched to microfoam tape for lash extensions, instead of undereye pads. They work so much better and don't slip and slide around. They are fantastic for my chubbier cheek clients.

It does not itch, it does not stink, it sticks great (maybe even too much on very damaged skin), protects very well (feels like a soft-leather armor)

Great

I do not use this product anymore. Every time i try to use this for my lash sets the lashes get really stuck on it. It is also hard to cut a perfect shape for the lashes.
