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" x 25 yards.
What is the difference between the hook side and the loop side of an adjustable closure system?
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. To create a complete closure system, it must be paired with a compatible hook-side tape or fastener. The loop side is typically applied to the softer, skin-facing surface of a splint or orthosis, while the hook side is applied to the outer closure strap.
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, which provides a stronger permanent bond but requires additional equipment and time. Pressure-sensitive tape is preferred for applications where quick application and repositionability during fabrication are important.
Can this tape be applied to thermoplastic splint materials?
Yes. Pressure-sensitive loop closure tape is commonly applied to thermoplastic orthotic and splint materials used in occupational therapy and orthotics fabrication. 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. For high-stress closure points, additional adhesive or rivets may be used to reinforce the bond.
