Pressure-sensitive loop closure tape with an adhesive backing that bonds instantly on contact — no heat, no tools required. Simply press it against any surface for a firm hold. Designed for use in casting, splinting, and orthopedic applications, it pairs with hook-side fasteners for a clean, adjustable closure system. The 25-yard roll provides a generous supply for clinical or production use. White. 2 inches x 25 yards.
Orthotists and casting technicians who need a pressure-sensitive loop tape that bonds to cast and splint surfaces on contact will find the 15040D a 2-inch x 25-yard white option for clean, adjustable closure systems without heat activation. Physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics that fabricate custom splints and orthoses will find the loop tape practical for patient-adjustable closures when paired with hook-side fasteners. Orthopedic supply manufacturers and fabricators who use loop closure tape in production will find the 25-yard roll format sufficient for high-volume clinical or manufacturing use. Medical supply distributors and clinical purchasing departments that stock casting and splinting supplies will find the 15040D a consistently available pressure-sensitive loop tape in a standard 2-inch width.
What is the difference between the hook side and the loop side?
An adjustable closure fastener system consists of two components: the hook side, which has a surface of small rigid hooks, and the loop side, which has a surface of soft fabric loops. When pressed together, the hooks engage the loops to create a bond that holds firmly but can be peeled apart and reattached repeatedly. This tape is the loop side only and must be paired with a compatible hook-side tape or fastener to create a complete closure system.
How does pressure-sensitive adhesive differ from heat-activated adhesive?
Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds to a surface when pressed firmly by hand at room temperature — no heat gun, iron, or activation step is required. This makes it faster to apply in clinical settings and suitable for surfaces that cannot tolerate heat. Heat-activated adhesive requires a heat source to melt and bond the adhesive to the substrate, providing a stronger permanent bond but requiring additional equipment and time.
Can this tape be applied to thermoplastic splint materials?
Yes. Pressure-sensitive loop closure tape is commonly applied to thermoplastic orthotic and splint materials. Clean the thermoplastic surface with isopropyl alcohol before application to remove oils and debris that can reduce adhesion. Press the tape firmly onto the surface and allow it to set for several minutes before applying load.
