3M Medical Silicone Tape 2477, Double Sided Silicone

This Medical Silicone Tape, catalog number 2477, is a double sided silicone acrylate adhesive tape supplied on a roll for use in the manufacture of health care medical devices. The description notes it consists of a proprietary silicone adhesive intended for attachment to skin, which suits devices or components that need gentle, extended contact with the patient's skin, such as certain wearable sensors or securement products.

Silicone based adhesives are generally chosen for skin contact applications where gentler removal or use on more sensitive or fragile skin is a consideration, compared to standard acrylic or rubber based adhesives. Being double sided, the tape can bond a device component to the skin on one face while attaching to another part of the device assembly on the other, functioning as an internal bonding and skin attachment layer within a finished product.

This tape is intended for use by medical device manufacturers and converters during production rather than as a stand alone dressing. Distributors supplying manufacturers in the region keep this catalog number stocked for ongoing wearable device production needs.
