Common operating room tapes and their permeability to Soluprep™. Operating room tape after a 0.05 mL drop of chlorhexidine (tinted Soluprep, 3M, St. Paul, MN, USA) was applied to the tape; the view of the paper after tape removal is shown beneath. Tapes B and C were permeable to chlorhexidine. Tape D appeared to absorb the solution with no subsequent movement of liquid through to the paper. Tapes E and F did not absorb the chlorhexidine and prevented its movement through to the paper. A) Paper control. B) 3M (St. Paul, MN, USA) Micropore. C) 3M Transpore. D) 3M Durapore. E) 3M Tegaderm Film. F) HY-Tape (Tape International, Patterson, NY, USA)
