The 3M™ Comply™ Lead–Free Indicator Tape is a trusted solution for securely sealing sterilization packages while providing a clear, visual confirmation of exposure to steam sterilization processes. Specifically designed with lead-free ink, it eliminates concerns around hazardous waste disposal, aligning with environmental safety standards.
Crafted for high performance, the tape features a stretchable backing that ensures it remains firmly in place during sterilization, preventing edges from lifting or "popping up" — a common issue with standard tapes. Its durable adhesive sticks reliably to wraps and containers, offering secure closure throughout the sterilization cycle.
Ideal for hospital, surgical, and laboratory environments, the tape can be easily written on or labelled for additional package identification, improving traceability and workflow efficiency. Being latex-free, it is also suitable for environments where latex sensitivity must be considered.
