Durable waterproof tape

The relatively thin waterproof tape provides excellent initial skin adhesion and 14 days of wear time, as well as comfort after prolonged wear and use, and has a huge advantage over other medical tape in the product line.
 

“Durability is important for medical device wearers, which is why we don't limit participants to exposure to moisture in our wear time study," says Marcello Napol, global operations director for critical and chronic care solutions at 3M. "Now we can provide a product that will push the function to the next level -- 3M 4077 is waterproof, flexible, breathable, and provides the longest wear and use time in our current combination. "

 

ISO approved gamma(gamma) sterilization adhesive

3M 4077 is characterized by the addition of a white melt-spray elastic non-woven liner on the silicone release liner. It is compatible with ETO, electron beam and gamma sterilization.

 

3M 4077 is approved for the entire skin for compliance with ISO: Section 10993 Articles 5 and 10. The tape is part of the adhesive production line, and through the company's technical diversity -- combined with its 55 years of experience in the medical adhesive industry -- 3M's product line currently provides medical device manufacturing, design, and supply.
