Longwear skin adhesive enables cost reduction and sustainability in medical practice
Lohmann now offers an adhesive skin patch (DuploMED 85300) with a wearing time of 28+ days, which significantly increases the wearing time of medical devices. Thus, the costly CGM devices need to be changed less frequently, saving costs and improving the environmental footprint.
The special adhesive is breathable, skin-friendly and can be removed after 28+ days of use painlessly despite its long adhesion. Several wear studies of Lohmann's adhesive skin patch confirms its high reliability even under harsh external influences such as outdoor sports or extensive exposure to humidity during showering or swimming.
The demand for reliable wearable solutions in the medical sector is ever increasing. From monitoring and consumer health to diagnostics, cost- and time-efficient devices that meet the needs of both an ageing population as well as chronically ill patients are highly requested. For that, bonding technology expert Lohmann provides in-house state-of-the-art capabilities, which include adhesive formulation, coating as well as clean-room conversion, laboratories, testing and prototyping as well as roll-to-roll processing and die-cutting of the final product.
By offering the entire value-chain for wearables including the assembly, all from a single source, Lohmann positions itself as a CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation) for OEMs and manufacturers. The German-based headquarters as well as the US-based entities are certified in accordance with EN ISO 13485.
