Medical Applications

Surgical drape tape and incise films.

Adhesive constructions for surgical drapes and incise films — fluid resistance, reliable adhesion, and skin compatibility in the operating room.

Overview

DermaMed supports surgical drape tape and surgical drape constructions for medical use, with adhesive solutions chosen for fluid resistance, reliable adhesion, and skin compatibility. Our coating, laminating, slitting, and converting services help customers match adhesive performance to specific surgical needs.

Drape tape serves both fabrication and securement functions during surgery — assembling drape constructions, holding them in place, and (in the case of incise films) providing a transparent adhesive-coated film for direct skin application at the incision site. DermaMed offers both double-sided and single-coated adhesive solutions for various surgical drape materials.

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.

  • Fluid resistance

    Barrier against fluids in the surgical field.

  • Adhesion

    Reliable hold to skin and to drape material during the procedure.

  • Skin compatibility

    Safe application to the patient's skin.

  • Contamination protection

    Maintains the sterile barrier.

  • Visibility

    Transparent incise films allow visual access to the surgical site.
