On-hand Surgical Tape Dispenser
Print Profile(3)
Description
After I made an on-hand tape dispenser for the typical home/office tape, several people requested a version for medical tape.
This design can take rolls of tape that are 2.5cm (1 inch) wide. I've tested it with 3M Micropore Surgical Tape, and according to the specs, other types of 3M tape use similar dimensions, but I haven't tested with any other brands or types of surgical tape.
The user can hold some bandage with one hand while using the other hand to cut the tape.
23/02/2025 Update:
(Version 2 on the right)
New version that addresses some feedback I had in the past:
- Increased strength, the main body of the model is now thicker and the profile has 3 wall loops and cubic infill at 20%. This will make it a bit harder to insert the tape, if you have issues, reduce the wall loops to 2.
- Slightly increased the diameter of the area that is held by the fingers.
- Made most of the edges rounded so the print is a bit less harsh for the user.
With this new version I've decided to join the exclusive program.
The profile includes both right-handed and left-handed parts.
