3M Medical Tape 9800 Series, Foam Backing
A foam backed medical component tape from the 9800 series, used by manufacturers constructing health care medical devices.
3M Medical Tape 9800 Series is a foam backed medical component tape intended for use in the construction of health care medical devices. It is supplied to device manufacturers and converters who incorporate the tape into finished products during assembly, rather than to clinicians for direct patient application.
The foam backing gives the tape cushioning and conformability properties that are useful where a device needs to sit comfortably against a surface or absorb minor pressure, while the underlying adhesive holds components securely in place during use. This item sits within 3M's broader family of medical component tapes, which cover a range of backing materials for different manufacturing needs, so buyers working on a specific device design should confirm that catalog number 9833 matches their required foam type and adhesive characteristics before committing to a production run.
Facilities that manufacture wound care products, wearable sensors or other adhesive backed medical devices commonly source foam tapes like this one in bulk roll form as a core raw material for their assembly lines.
