3M Medical Tape 9832W, Polyurethane Film
A thin, breathable polyurethane film tape coated with acrylic adhesive, providing a liquid barrier for use as a component in medical device manufacturing.
The 3M Medical Tape 9832W is a single sided medical tape built from a thin polyurethane film backing that is breathable while still providing a liquid barrier, coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. Combining breathability with liquid barrier protection makes this kind of film useful in applications where a device needs to allow moisture vapor to pass while still resisting liquid penetration from the outside, a common requirement for components used against or near the skin.
As with other medical component tapes in this range, it is supplied for use in the construction of health care medical devices rather than for direct standalone clinical application, meaning it is typically incorporated into a larger finished product by the manufacturer rather than applied on its own by clinical staff.
This tape is supplied to medical device manufacturers, contract converters and specialist healthcare product assemblers who use it as a functional layer within their own devices, valuing the combination of breathability and barrier performance that a thin polyurethane film construction offers.
