    2484 3M single-coated medical film tape with Hi-Tack silicone adhesive on liner

    ST. PAUL, Minn.—3M Co. recently released a new class of silicone adhesives, expanding its 3M Hi-Tack silicone adhesive portfolio with a product that it claims offers strength, flexibility and comfort in securing wearable medical devices.

    The 2484 3M single-coated medical film tape with Hi-Tack silicone adhesive is breathable, provides up to a seven-day wear time and minimizes skin cell removal, making it the ideal candidate for applications on fragile skin, the company said.

    "In medical device design, patient safety is of the utmost importance, which is why we continue to focus on silicone adhesives and our Hi-Tack silicone adhesive portfolio," Chad Reed, global business director of 3M medical device solutions, said in a statement. "Designing devices for people with more fragile skin, such as those with chronic diseases or on the opposite ends of the age spectrum, can be challenging; yet they can be the populations most in need of reliable wearable devices.

    "The 2484 3M Hi-Tack Silicone Adhesive is gentle even on delicate skin, providing design engineers an adhesive that meets the needs of both the latest in medical device design and the people who wear them. By using 3M's 55+ years of skin adhesive experience, we help design engineers create dependable, feature-rich devices. The 2484 3M Hi-Tack silicone adhesive is the latest advancement in that effort."

    This marks the latest addition to 3M's Hi-Tack silicone adhesive offerings. Late last year, the company introduced 2480 3M Hi-Tack silicone adhesive. The portfolio, the company said, is expected to continue to expand.
