MACtac® Medical Products Expands Offering with New Medical-Grade-Free Adhesive Film

Stow, OH - Feb. 10, 2009 - For more than 25 years, MACtac® Medical Products has served the medical device industry, offering high-quality products and adhesive systems designed for all facets of the healthcare market. Building on this experience, MACtac is expanding its product offering to include a new medical-grade-free adhesive film, TM1039, which was specifically designed to address the needs of medical device OEMs and medical converters challenged with laminating various materials together during device assembly.

The TM1039 film features MACtac's synthetic, rubber-based MP555 adhesive, which provides exceptional conformability for bonding fabrics, felts, foams, films and other materials where a reinforcing carrier membrane is not required. TM1039 securely bonds to uneven or irregular surfaces as well as a variety of low-energy surfaces, including polyethylene and polypropylene. Along with the film's high-performance adhesive, TM1039 features a two-side, release-treated, 80# densified kraft liner.

"With broad biocompatibility and low skin irritation scores, MACtac's TM1039 has the potential for many medical device assembly as well as direct skin contact applications," said Steve Sargeant, general manager, MACtac Medical Products. "The film's superior shear strength, aggressive tack and peel, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates are sure to make an impact in the medical device industry."

All MACtac Medical Products adhesives are tested according to ISO 10993-5/-10 standards for cytotoxicity, skin irritation and skin sensitization and are suitable for sustained skin contact with third-party biocompatibility documentation, and are stable after EtO or gamma sterilization.
