3M medical materials and technologies business has developed a new acrylic-based nonwoven tape named 4076 extended wear medical tape that offers long-term wear on skin, enabling engineers to solve tough medical device design challenges. 3M is a global innovation company based in the US that develops structural and advanced medical adhesives. The medical tape has given medical device manufacturers and engineers a long-term wear, acrylic-based adhesive solution designed to increase patient comfort, and provide a strong and reliable bond in challenging applications. The non-sensitising, conformable adhesive was developed for long-term wear, providing a bond that is firm yet comfortable so patients may not even realise they are wearing a device. This allows engineers and manufacturers to focus solely on their device's design and application, spurring innovation while ensuring their timeline and budget requirements are met.
