3M Medical Tape, Polyurethane Film, 9834
A thin, breathable single-sided polyurethane film tape that provides a liquid barrier, coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
3M Medical Tape, catalog number 9834, consists of a polyurethane film described as thinner than 3M's tape 9833, while remaining breathable and still providing a liquid barrier. This combination of thinness, breathability and liquid resistance suits device assemblies where the tape needs to allow some vapour transmission while still keeping liquid from passing through, such as components that sit close to the skin within a larger medical device.
The backing is coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, giving it dependable bonding for use as a component material in manufacturing. As with other tapes in the medical component plastic tape range, this product is intended for use by manufacturers building health care medical devices rather than for direct clinical application to a patient.
Device makers choose this particular polyurethane film when a thinner, more breathable option than the standard 9833 tape is needed for their design. It is stocked under a single catalog number.
