3M Medical Silicone Tape 2480, Nonwoven
A white spunlace polyester nonwoven medical tape coated with a proprietary silicone adhesive on one side, designed for repositionable attachment to skin. It supports dependable daily performance in clinical and procurement settings.
The 3M Medical Silicone Tape 2480 is a nonwoven medical tape supplied on a roll, consisting of a white spunlace polyester nonwoven backing with one side coated in a proprietary silicone adhesive for repositionable attachment to skin. The fabric backing gives this tape a degree of breathability and conformability compared with a film based silicone tape, which can improve comfort for products worn over larger areas or for longer periods.
Being repositionable, the silicone adhesive allows a device to be lifted and reapplied without the same risk of skin trauma associated with more aggressive, non-repositionable adhesives, an important consideration for sensitive or fragile skin, including in paediatric, elderly or wound care applications.
This tape is intended for use as a component within finished healthcare medical devices rather than as a standalone clinical product. Medical device manufacturers building gentle adhesion, skin contact products select nonwoven silicone tapes like this, and distributors supplying medical device manufacturing operations in the region stock it by the roll as a raw material input.
