Color-coding Instrument Identification Tape: These surgical grade instrument identification tapes are US made from 3M's premium quality #471 vinyl tape. These vinyl ID tapes are wound on 1-inch diameter plastic cores. The tape is smooth and flexible, has a shiny luster, and conforms easily to curved surfaces. They have a synthetic rubber adhesive that is clean removing (see spec sheet). Our vinyl ID tapes are used for identification and color-coding of surgical instruments, tools, climbing gear, utensils, cables and wires. Wind on, pinch off - they stay put. They are autoclavable and dishwasher-proof and do not leave residue when removed. Rolls are 1/4" wide and 200 inches in length (16-2/3 ft). They are also (RoHS Compliant).
Instructions pertaining to surgical instruments are, that prior to application, the instruments be clean and sterile. Once the tapes are applied (best done while wearing latex gloves) the adhesive should be allowed to cure for 24 hours, then the instruments should be sterilized again before being put to use. NOTE: tapes should be stored in an environment where the temperature does not exceed 80F (27C). Otherwise, coning (telescoping) of rolls may occur.
Regarding use on surgical instruments; 3M 471 vinyl is manufactured with a synthtic rubber adhesive derived from oil or coal which do not contain natural rubber latex. They are also REACH and RoHS compliant (see 3M Regulatory Data Sheets and type #471 into the search field). Our instrument tapes have been independently temperature tested to 273°F. They have also been tested for sterilization efficacy by both ethylene oxide and steam methods with both resulting in 100 percent sterilization (see statement).
