Medical Applications

Adhesives for in-vitro diagnostic devices.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives used in test strips, lateral flow assays, and other in-vitro diagnostic constructions.

Overview

DermaMed supports adhesive materials used in wearable devices and skin-contact products, including in-vitro diagnostics. Pressure-sensitive adhesives serve critical functions in diagnostic devices like test strips and lateral flow assays.

Selecting the right PSA for a diagnostic device means balancing biocompatibility, stability, component compatibility, adhesion strength, chemical and temperature resistance, and ease of application — each chosen against the requirements of the specific assay or device.

Design criteria

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.

  • Biocompatibility

    Materials safe for the intended sample and patient contact.

  • Stability

    Performance maintained across the device shelf life.

  • Component compatibility

    Compatible with films, membranes, and reagents in the assembly.

  • Adhesion strength

    Secure bonding across the assembly's substrates.

  • Chemical & temperature resistance

    Performance through manufacturing and clinical conditions.

  • Ease of application

    Process-friendly for high-volume diagnostic manufacturing.
