The Effects of Tape Construction

As a medical device manufacturer, your key consideration when selecting a tape is ensuring proper adhesion to the patient's body. Whether it's affixed for several hours, a day, a week or even longer, your wearable device needs to stay attached to do its job. While adhesion is critical, there are other variables that need to be considered—such as ergonomic requirements, skin condition, the patient population and wear time.

Our expertise can help.

  • As a medical device design engineer, you have a lot to consider. Will the user of your device have sensitive skin? Sweaty skin? Finding the right device adhesive can be difficult. 3M can help.
