3M Medical Tape 9865A, Lightweight Polyethylene Film
A single sided medical tape with a lightweight, printable polyethylene film coated in acrylic adhesive, used in medical device manufacturing.
This Medical Tape, catalog number 9865A, is a single sided adhesive tape used in the manufacture of health care medical devices. 8 mil polyethylene film improved for printing, coated on one side with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. The description notes it is a liquid barrier film with a matte finish, translucent appearance and heat sealable properties, similar to other tapes in this range but with a lighter overall weight, which can suit applications where minimising added mass or thickness within a device is a priority.
9 mils, giving manufacturers a defined liner specification to work with during automated converting. This tape is intended for use by medical device manufacturers and converters during production rather than for direct clinical wound care, functioning as part of a finished device's construction. Distributors supplying manufacturers keep this catalog number available for ongoing production runs.
