With over 55 years in the medical adhesive business, no one knows skin better than 3M. We understand the unique challenges of this delicate surface and of the larger design process. As your partner forth beginning, we can help you choose the right materials for your needs and navigate your way to market, with confidence.

The Effects of Tape Construction

As a 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 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.
