3M Medical Foam Tape 1772
A single-sided closed cell polyethylene foam tape coated with a pressure sensitive tackified acrylic adhesive, designed as a component in medical devices. It supports dependable daily performance in clinical and procurement settings.
The 3M Medical Foam Tape 1772 is a single-sided medical foam tape supplied on a roll, consisting of closed cell, white polyethylene foam coated with a pressure sensitive tackified acrylic adhesive. The liner is a silicone treated, polyethylene coated, bleached Kraft paper on one side only, with the tape wound so the liner sits on the outside of the roll for convenient unwinding during manufacturing.
This type of foam tape is intended for use as a component within finished healthcare medical devices, where the closed cell foam layer can provide cushioning, gap filling or a degree of conformability that a flat film or fabric backing cannot offer. Medical device manufacturers select foam tapes like this when a product needs padding or a soft interface against the skin or another device surface, such as in certain wearable monitoring devices or securement products.
Distributors supplying medical device manufacturing operations in the region stock this foam tape by the roll as a raw material component for ongoing production runs.
