3M Medical Tape 9917, Double Sided Spunlace Nonwoven
A double sided spunlace nonwoven tape, soft and conformable, coated on both sides with acrylic adhesive for medical device manufacturing.
Medical Tape 9917 is a double sided spunlaced nonwoven fabric tape used to bond components together during the manufacture of health care medical devices. It is built from a conformable, soft, cushioning apertured nonwoven cloth like carrier that is coated on both sides with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, allowing it to attach to two surfaces at once within an assembly.
Its soft, apertured structure gives it some flexibility to conform to slightly uneven surfaces while still bonding reliably, which can be useful where a device includes curved or layered components. As with related nonwoven tapes in the same range, it is intended for use by device manufacturers and converters rather than as a stand alone wound dressing or direct skin application.
Being double sided, it functions purely as an internal bonding layer inside a finished product. Distributors supplying medical device makers keep this catalog number stocked for manufacturers building devices that specify a spunlace nonwoven carrier with acrylic adhesive on both faces.
