3M Micropore Surgical Tape

3M Micropore is a globally recognized hypoallergenic surgical tape specifically designed for sensitive skin. Invented by the 3M Company, this product revolutionized medical wound care by offering a breathable, paper-based adhesive that remains secure yet gentle upon removal.

The brand's history is deeply rooted in the 3M Company (originally Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company), an American multinational conglomerate founded in 1902. While the brand originated and is headquartered in the United States, 3M's vast industrial footprint means Micropore tape is manufactured in multiple locations worldwide to serve different regional markets, including facilities in the U.S., Germany, and various sites across Asia and Latin America.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of 3M, which continues to operate as a leading innovator in health care, worker safety, and consumer goods. The company is headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and manages its product distribution through a complex network of global subsidiaries tailored to local regulatory environments.
