3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape

One of a Kind Story

Over 50 years ago, a team of 3M scientists began their

quest for a better medical tape. Among them was Frank

Copeland, a 3M research scientist with a vested interest.

“After knee surgery, there were days when the tape

caused me more pain than the surgery itself,” said

Copeland. After three years, multiple experiments, trials,

disappointments, and more than 300 different variations

and combinations of adhesives and backing, the

scientists launched the first of 3M’s superior medical tape

products.

3M has supplied health care providers with the finest

skin and wound care products ever since.

3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape

3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape builds on 3M’s history of of innovation to bring

you a new, silicone-based, adhesive technology that delivers reliable fixation and

atraumatic removal in one easy-to-use, affordable tape.

Unique characteristics make 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape

unlike any medical tape you’ve used before.

Note: Studies have not evaluated 3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape for use as primary

securement of critical tubing. 3M does not recommend it for this use. Clinical judgment is

needed when making decisions about patient care.

Freedom to Care MoreYou want to give your patients the very best care and spare them from unnecessary

discomfort. 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape is a smarter medical tape with the ideal

blend of properties to help you care for your patients who have fragile or at-risk skin.

Security Offers reliable yet pliable fixation, remains in

place until you decide otherwise.

Comfort Removes cleanly, without disrupting fragile

skin layers or causing patients any undue pain.

Ease of Use Can be repositioned and neatly torn by hand.

Less Trauma, More Comfort

Research confirms that upon removal, 3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape causes

minimal epidermal cell stripping and less pulling of hair.2,18

Ideal Securement Over Time

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape provides the same adhesive strength you selected

when you applied the tape, even after 48 hours of wear.2

This consistent adhesion level means the tape stays in place and removes gently

every time. No worries, no surprises.

3M™ Kind Removal Silicone Tape

Ideal Adhesion Right From the Start

Silicone adhesives have lower surface tension, allowing the silicone to conform quickly to

the skin’s natural profile and create a secure bond immediately. The ideal adhesive level

selected at application remains constant throughout wear time.

How Is It Possible? Unique Performance Characteristics

Less Force at Removal

More “spring” means the energy of

the bond can dissipate through the

adhesive rather than through the skin.

Removal of the tape does not cause

the skin to pull up the same way it

does with traditional adhesives.

Skin Injury is Occurring More Often Than You Think

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

Injury to the epidermis affects at least 1.5

million patients annually in the U.S.

alone.4,23,31 The problem occurs across units

in the health care setting28 and its prevalence

is expected to grow as the number of patients

with fragile skin continues to increase.

Use of adhesive products such as tape can

exacerbate the risk of skin injury. 3,5,7,11,26,27,28,33

Konya reported that cumulative

incidence of skin injury caused by

tape removal may be as high as

15.5%.20

Pennsylvania Patient Safety Advisory

reports that over a 1-year period,

only hospital beds and patient

positioning were mentioned more

often than tape as factors

contributing to skin tears.28

The Cost Is High

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

Patients who suffer skin trauma not only experience discomfort but they often require

more nursing time, more materials, take longer to heal,21,32 and have increased risk of

infection and chronic wounds.25

To prevent skin injury today, nurses often use skin protectants, adhesive removers,

special applications and removal work-around techniques, or alternative products.

These precautionary activities are costly in both materials and nursing time.

Even with the extra steps to protect skin, tape-related abrasions occur 5.9% of the

time.20 The cost to treat abrasions is significant. In fact, the cost of dressing an

abrasion alone costs facilities at least $20.00 per patient and sometimes as much

as $50.00.16,17 That results in $1.18 – $2.95 for every patient admitted to the facility.

For patients whose injury becomes chronic, infected, or

requires surgical intervention, the treatment cost is even

higher. Additional treatments for chronic or infected wounds

could include: debridement, wound irrigation, barrier ointment,

cushioning, antimicrobials, and even surgical grafting.

Preventing Injury Makes Sense

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

Prevention and treatment of tape-related skin damage

are both costly and time-consuming.

A standard hospital can spend an $19,185 per year managing tape risks and

treatments.1,2,34,35 For patients whose injuries require debridement, wound irrigation,

mobility treatment, cushioning, antimicrobials or surgical grafting, the costs are higher.

3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape lowers the overall cost of care by reducing the need for

extra steps to protect skin and reducing the incidence of skin trauma.*Cost of 100 Fragile

Skin Patients1,34,35

introduction of 3M™

Reducing Infection and Waste

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

To combat cross-contamination, Federal and CDC guidelines increasingly suggest that

some items, such as adhesive tapes, should not be shared between patients.15,19 As a

result, infection prevention-conscious facilities often dedicate a single roll of tape to a

single patient. With traditional rolls of tape, this results in up to 90% of the tape on a

single roll being discarded. In other words, more than two miles of tape is wasted for

every 1,000 patients discharged.1

That’s why 3M offers single-patient-use rolls so you can dedicate a roll to a single

patient, preventing cross-contamination without creating excessive waste.

Reducing Inventory Costs

© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.

“Supply chain costs consume as much as 40% of total

operating budget, the second largest expense for

hospitals.”12 Even small changes can have a significant

effect on the bottom line, as much as 10-12% savings.12

As part of your facility’s overall efforts to optimize inventory

through the reduction of SKUs, 3M Kind Removal Silicone

Tape is an excellent choice for standardization because of

its unique balance of properties. At 3M, we partner with you

to provide the most versatile medical tapes available so

you can manage inventory holding costs through SKU

rationalization
