I get infusions on a monthly basis, and mine is ALWAYS secured with paper tape. My infusion time is about 3 hours.

The transported tape is the way to go to hold a IV in place and not worry about it coming loose for hours but I must warn there is a glue residual that comes along with the more secure tape because after long term use you will need some type of adhesive

I can not directly answer your question. I use this tape to secure my bandages in lymphedema wrapping. The tape does not go directly on my skin. It works well for that purpose. Hope you get an answer.
