3M Medical Tape 4576, Polyester Nonwoven
A spunlace polyester nonwoven fabric medical tape coated with pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, designed for longer wear applications in healthcare medical devices, suited to products worn on the skin for several days at a time.
The 3M Medical Tape 4576 is a spunlace polyester nonwoven fabric tape supplied on a roll, consisting of a white spunlace polyester nonwoven backing coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive intended for longer wear applications. This type of tape is designed to be used as a component within finished healthcare medical devices, giving manufacturers a breathable, fabric based adhesive material suited to products that remain on the skin for extended periods.
The nonwoven construction allows a degree of air permeability compared with fully occlusive film backings, which can improve comfort and reduce skin maceration during prolonged wear. Medical device manufacturers and converters building wearable monitoring devices, ostomy products or other longer wear skin contact devices select tapes like this for their combination of comfort and reliable adhesion over time.
Distributors supplying medical device manufacturing operations in the region stock this tape by the roll as a raw material component, supporting ongoing production of finished devices intended for multi day wear on the skin.
