Medical Applications
Adhesive applications for pulse oximeter devices.
Skin-friendly, comfortable, tear-resistant, breathable adhesive constructions that secure pulse oximeter sensors to the body.
DermaMed provides adhesive applications for pulse oximetry devices that require skin-friendly materials, flexibility, and reliable adhesive performance. We work across coating, laminating, slitting, and converting to identify the right adhesive construction.
Pulse oximeter adhesive materials are comfortable, flexible, tear-resistant, breathable, and conform to the body — with low-trauma adhesion appropriate to sensitive and fragile skin. The result is a convenient and reliable method for securing the device to the patient’s body. We partner with you to identify a unique solution to meet the requirements of your specific application.
What the construction has to deliver.
Selecting an adhesive for this application means aligning chemistry, substrate, and performance with what the device actually does in use.
-
Comfort
Tape comfortable through wear cycles.
-
Flexibility
Conforms to the body's contour at the sensor site.
-
Tear resistance
Durable through application and reposition.
-
Breathability
Manages moisture under continuous wear.
-
Low trauma
Adhesion strong enough to secure the device, gentle enough for sensitive skin.
