While many different variables need to be taken into consideration when selecting a Solventum Medical Specialties Tape, Tekra has the expertise to navigate the choices. Uncontrolled variables such as basic human factors (ethnicity, diet, health, environment and age) can all play a role in how a tape will perform.
When designing a product, it’s easiest to focus on controlled variables such as breathability, conformability, tape thickness and size of the overall size of the contact area. Tekra will help choose the right tape combination for your medical project. Please contact a sales person to learn more about our medical adhesive adhesive tapes!
