What constructions are designed against.
DermaMed assists clients with identifying adhesive constructions aligned with adhesion levels, wear time, flexibility, breathability, moisture management, and device compatibility.
-
Adhesion levels
Bond strength to the substrates and tissue the construction will contact.
-
Wear time
Duration the construction needs to stay on through realistic use conditions.
-
Flexibility
Conformance to body contours and motion at the application site.
-
Breathability
Moisture-vapor transmission appropriate to the wear duration.
-
Moisture management
How perspiration and exudate move through — or are kept out of — the construction.
-
Device compatibility
Compatibility with the device materials and processing the construction will encounter.
The performance suite, on-site.
Our on-site lab supports adhesive evaluation and testing processes aligned with application and performance requirements.
- Adhesion to steel and HDPE
Peel testing on standard substrates.
- Release
Force required to remove the liner.
- Tack
Quick-stick measurement.
- Shear
Resistance to in-plane force over time.
- Loop
Tack under low-pressure contact.
- Polyken Probe
Probe-tack measurement.
- MVTR ASTM E-96
Moisture vapor transmission rate, for breathability.
- Accelerated aging
Performance after time-temperature aging.
Tailored adhesive solutions for medical applications.
DermaMed supports custom adhesive tape for skin applications requiring reliable adhesive performance, flexibility, and skin compatibility. Constructions may target moisture resistance, breathability, flexibility, and extended wear durations depending on the intended medical application.
-
Wearable devices
Skin-contact constructions for continuous-wear sensors and monitors.
-
Wound care products
Adhesives that perform on compromised or sensitive tissue.
-
Surgical applications
Constructions that hold through prep, draping, and procedure conditions.
-
Other skin-contact products
Direct-to-skin medical products with application-specific performance needs.
