3M Medical Tape 9916, Single Sided Spunlace Nonwoven
A single sided spunlace nonwoven tape with a soft, cushioned opaque fabric backing, coated with acrylic adhesive for use in medical device manufacturing.
Medical Tape 9916 is a single sided spunlaced nonwoven fabric tape used by manufacturers building health care medical devices. It consists of an opaque spunlace nonwoven fabric backing coated on one side with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, and the description notes that its thicker nonwoven fabric provides enhanced cushioning compared to thinner alternatives.
This makes it suited to applications where a softer, more comfortable feel against the skin is wanted, such as components of a wearable device or a securement element within a larger assembly. The product is described as a tan version of a related catalog number, 1776, giving manufacturers a colour choice within the same fabric family.
Supplied on a roll, it can be converted into the specific shapes a device design calls for. This tape is intended for industrial and manufacturing use in building medical devices rather than for direct clinical dressing use, and distributors stock it to support ongoing device production runs that specify this particular backing and adhesive combination.
