3M Medical Tape 1776, Polyester Spunlace Nonwoven
A single sided white spunlace polyester nonwoven fabric tape coated with acrylic adhesive, used in the manufacture of medical devices.
Medical Tape 1776 is a single sided polyester spunlace nonwoven fabric tape used by manufacturers producing health care medical devices. It consists of a white spunlace polyester backing coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side, giving a soft, fabric like surface with reliable adhesion for bonding within a device assembly.
The nonwoven spunlace construction offers a degree of flexibility and comfort compared to a plain film backing, which can suit components that come into extended contact with the body as part of a wearable or securement device. As a related product to catalog number 9916, described elsewhere as a tan version of this fabric, 1776 gives manufacturers a white colour option within the same nonwoven family.
This tape is intended for use by device manufacturers and converters during production rather than as a stand alone dressing, forming part of a finished product's construction. Distributors supplying manufacturers keep this catalog number stocked to support ongoing device assembly work that specifies a white spunlace polyester nonwoven tape.
