Overview
ALS Tape supplies 3M medical tapes and converts them into die-cut parts for wearable patches, device assembly, pad fixing and diagnostic strip lamination. 3M's medical materials business is now Solventum, so newer data sheets and roll labels carry the Solventum name; the product numbers are unchanged. The model table below covers 12 double-coated and transfer grades from 3M's medical tape data sheet — PE film, PET film, nonwoven and transfer-adhesive constructions, all listed by 3M as hypoallergenic. Die cutting and kitting run in a 10,000 m² ISO Class 8 (Class 100,000) clean workshop, and every order ships with photos of the original roll labels and batch numbers; CoC or CoA on request. Other 3M medical grades we source include 9795R, 9836, 9907T, 2477P, 1772, 1773, 1776, 1533L, 1533, 8801, 4076, 1567.

FAQ
Which 3M medical tape models does ALS Tape supply?
The 12 double-coated and transfer grades in the model table above — 1509, 1510, 1512, 1517, 1522, 9874, 9889, 1513, 1577, 9877, 9917 and 1524 — plus other 3M medical grades such as 9795R, 9836, 9907T, 2477P, 1772, 1773, 1776, 1533L, 1533, 8801, 4076, 1567. Send the model number and we confirm stock, roll width and price.
Is 3M medical tape now Solventum?
Yes. 3M moved its health care business, including medical tapes, into Solventum. The materials and model numbers are the same; newer data sheets and roll labels show the Solventum name.
Which grades can be steam autoclaved?
3M lists 1513, 9877 and 1524 as compatible with steam autoclave as well as gamma and ethylene oxide. The other nine grades in the table are listed for gamma and ethylene oxide only. After gamma, adhesion may drop and liner release force may rise, so test parts after your sterilization cycle.
Which grades are for repeated skin contact?
3M rates 1522, 9874 and 9917 for repeated skin contact. 1522 and 9874 are PE film with a fluid barrier; 9917 is a nonwoven, more breathable and without a fluid barrier. Wear time depends on your device, so run your own wear study.
What biocompatibility documents are available?
3M's technical information sheets state biocompatibility per grade — for example, 1522 is listed as non-sensitizing per ISO 10993-10 — and 3M provides summary biocompatibility results on request. We send the data sheet for your grade, photos of the original roll labels with batch numbers, and CoC or CoA on request. Biocompatibility of the finished device remains the device maker's responsibility.
Can you die cut medical parts from these tapes?
Yes. Pads, strips, kiss-cut parts on liner and laminated stacks are die cut and kitted in our 10,000 m² ISO Class 8 clean workshop. Die-cut parts start from 100 pcs; custom samples take 3–9 days. Send the grade and a drawing for a quote.
