Your Guide to Tape Carriers for Wearable Medical Devices

Wearable medical devices have become increasingly popular in recent years. They're used to keep track of our health and wellness and to deliver drugs. Adhesive tapes are often used to attach these devices to the wearer, sometimes for days, even weeks. The adhesive on these tapes is applied to a base called a carrier, and it's this carrier that can make or break the performance of many wearable medical devices...

5 Ways Die-Cut Hydrocolloid Adhesive Tapes Help Wound Care

Hydrocolloids adhesives are rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesives. What makes them unique is that they have particles mixed in which allow the adhesive to absorb fluid. The particles, which can be pectin or other biocompatible absorbent ingredients, will absorb fluid until they become saturated and form a soft, moist gel.  As a result, wound dressings made with hydrocolloid adhesives are quite conducive to moist wound healing and atraumatic removal. There are many benefits to using die-cut hydrocolloid adhesive tapes in wound care products. In this post, we'll focus on five of them.

6 (More) Benefits of Adhesive Tapes Over Liquid Adhesives

You've probably got a pretty good idea why tapes can often be the better choice compared to liquid adhesives, but did you know there are even more ways that pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape can come out on top? Don't misinterpret, we're not saying there's anything wrong with liquid adhesives...
