Medical Polyester FilmsMedical Specialty Adhesives

3M™ Medical Specialties Tapes3M™ has a broad range of medical tapes and component products used in markets such as surgical medical and biomedical and electrodes. As a preferred 3M converter, Tekra has access to 3M™ Medical Specialties Tapes to support your application requirements.

Whether end product needs call for short-term use or long-term wear, 3M products provide excellent conformability, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties with adhesion ranging from gentle to aggressive.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Products

• Film Tapes – Tapes are available in single and double coated formats ranging from breathable to occlusive with gentle to aggressive adhesion.

• Nonwoven and Fabric Tapes – Excellent conformability and breathability for extended wear applications. Printable options are also available.

• Foam Tapes – Soft, cushiony alternative to film and non-woven tapes often adhering better to flanges or skin.

• Closure Systems – 3M™ Low Profile Hook and Loop are specially designed for stick-to-skin applications.

• Release Liners – Paper and film liners are available in a variety of gauges.• Transfer Tapes – Hypoallergenic acrylate adhesives and new EtO sterilization

compatible series of silicone pressure sensitive tapes are available. • Hydrocolloid Adhesives – Skin friendly attachment adhesives suitable for longer wear.

While many different variables need to be taken into consideration when selecting a 3M™ Medical Specialties Tape, Tekra has the expertise to navigate the choices. Uncontrolled variables such as basic human factors (ethnicity, diet, health, environment and age) can all play a role in how a tape will perform.

When designing a product, it’s easiest to focus on controlled variables such as breathability, conformability, tape thickness and size of the overall size of the contact area. Tekra will help choose the right tape combination for your medical project.
