Adhesive bonding solutions for wearable applications 06 June 2022

Following increasing demands in the medical injury for strong, wearable applications, Lohmann has designed and released a new portfolio of bonding solutions with high breathability, water resistance as well as residue free and painless removability.

There are several demanding requirements to the long-lasting adhesion to skin, such as permanent changes and fluctuating external influences, rough textures or sweat, or low surface energy. Lohmann wearables adhesive solutions are engineered and tailored to the medical industry's applications and design requirements. No matter if applied to mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT), continuous glucose or temperature measurement (CGM and CTM), insulin patch pumps or large volume injectors for short or long-term use, single or double-sided; each bonding solution is biocompatible and allows for ever thinner and more flexible wearables.  

Over the last few years and during the global pandemic, the demand for wearables and long wear applications in the medical industry has significantly increased. For example, in diagnostics, monitoring and consumer health, the need for reliable bonding solutions for these devices increased as well.

Meeting the needs of the medical and healthcare industry, Lohmann provides in-house capabilities, which include adhesive formulation, coating, casting and extrusion as well as clean room conversion, laboratories and testing, as well as die cutting.
