3M Medical Loop Fastener 7331
A gamma stable nylon tricot loop fastener with a high-tack synthetic rubber adhesive, designed for medical device construction and stick-to-skin applications, commonly used within splints, braces and other closure based products.
The 3M Medical Loop Fastener 7331 is a gamma stable nylon tricot fastener laminated to a high tack, synthetic rubber based adhesive, designed for medical device construction and stick-to-skin applications. It is not made with natural rubber, is easy to open and offers high shear strength, with the loop tape currently supplied in rolls on a polycoated, two side siliconized 54 pound paper release liner.
Fasteners of this kind are used as hook and loop closure components within finished medical devices such as splints, braces, wound care garments or securement products, where a reliable, repeatable open and close mechanism is needed. Its gamma stability makes it suitable for products that will be terminally sterilized using gamma irradiation as part of the manufacturing process.
Medical device manufacturers and converters purchase loop fastener material like this as a raw component for ongoing production, and distributors supplying medical device manufacturing operations in the region stock it by the roll to support continuous assembly of finished closure based products.
