3M Medical Tape 1522, Double Sided Polyethylene
A double sided transparent polyethylene film tape coated with acrylic adhesive on both faces, used as a bonding component in medical device assembly.
The 3M Medical Tape 1522 is a double sided tape built from a three mil transparent polyethylene film, coated on both sides with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. Because it bonds on both faces, this tape is typically used to join two components or layers together within a finished medical device, rather than serving as a surface tape applied directly and visibly to skin or dressing material.
Its transparent polyethylene construction gives manufacturers a thin, flexible bonding layer that can be incorporated into a range of device designs where a discreet, reliable double sided adhesive is needed between assembled parts. The row identifies this tape as intended for use in health care medical devices generally, without specifying a particular finished product, which is consistent with its role as a raw material component supplied to manufacturers and converters.
This tape is used by medical device manufacturers, contract converters and specialist healthcare product assemblers incorporating it into their own finished devices rather than by clinical staff directly.
