3M & Solventum Wholesaler UK – Medical Dressings, Surgical Tapes & Healthcare Supplies
Looking for a reliable 3M or Solventum wholesaler in the UK?
Whether you are a pharmacy, healthcare distributor, medical supplier, clinic or international trade buyer, finding the right healthcare products at competitive wholesale prices is an important part of running your business.
At KeyPar Limited, we specialise in UK B2B wholesale distribution, supplying healthcare products, medical dressings, surgical tapes, diagnostics and everyday medical consumables to trade customers.
Our product catalogue includes familiar healthcare brands historically associated with 3M, including Tegaderm, Micropore, Transpore, Steri-Strip, Cavilon and Inadine.
With the transition of 3M's healthcare business to Solventum, many buyers are now searching for these products under both the 3M and Solventum names.
In this guide, we explain the transition, explore popular medical product ranges and show how UK and international trade buyers can enquire about wholesale supply through KeyPar.
3M Healthcare Is Now Solventum – What Has Changed?
In April 2024, 3M completed the separation of its healthcare business, creating an independent company called Solventum.
While the company name has changed, many well-known healthcare brands remain familiar to medical professionals and purchasing teams.
Products such as Tegaderm, Micropore, Transpore, Cavilon and Steri-Strip continue to be recognised in healthcare settings.
Solventum is progressively updating product branding and packaging. During this transition, buyers may encounter products carrying either the older 3M branding or newer Solventum branding.
For procurement teams, the most important step is to confirm the correct manufacturer product reference, pack size and specifications.
Are 3M and Solventum products the same?
Many established 3M healthcare products are now part of Solventum's portfolio. Solventum has stated that its branding transition does not change the design or performance of the affected products.
However, buyers should always verify the current product details and documentation before purchasing.

Healthcare buyers should check the required tape width, pack configuration and suitability for the intended application.
5. 3M Medipore H – Soft Cloth Surgical Tape
Medipore H is a breathable, conformable soft cloth tape.
Its flexible construction makes it suitable for certain dressing securement applications where movement and body contours need to be considered.
It is another product range worth knowing when purchasing surgical tapes in bulk.

Steri-Strip is a recognised range of skin closure products used in appropriate clinical situations.
Examples listed in KeyPar's catalogue include:

7. 3M Cavilon – Skin Protection Products
Cavilon is an established skin protection range within the Solventum portfolio.
It includes barrier films and other products intended to help protect skin in specific healthcare applications.
Cavilon products are relevant to professional care settings, including hospitals, care homes and community healthcare services.
Different Cavilon formulations have different intended uses, so customers should confirm the exact product before ordering.
8. 3M Inadine – Povidone-Iodine Dressings
Inadine PVP-I Non-Adherent Dressings are an established product within the Solventum wound care portfolio.
They contain povidone-iodine and are intended for specific wound care applications.

Clinical suitability must always be determined by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
