PU Double Sided Medical Device Fixation Tape with Silicone & Hot Melt Adhesive

PU Double Sided Medical Device Fixation Tape with Silicone & Hot Melt Adhesive

PU double sided medical device fixation tape with a dual adhesive system is designed for reliable fixation between medical devices and human skin.

One side features hot melt adhesive to ensure strong bonding to medical devices or plastic components, while the other side uses medical-grade silicone adhesive for gentle, skin-friendly contact and atraumatic removal.

The PU film carrier provides flexibility, breathability, and excellent conformability, making this tape suitable for long-term wear and advanced medical device fixation applications.

Product Introduction

Why use a dual adhesive system for medical device fixation?

Medical device fixation often requires two completely different bonding behaviors:

  • Strong, permanent adhesion to the device surface
  • Gentle, repositionable adhesion to human skin

By combining hot melt adhesive on one side and silicone adhesive on the other, this double sided medical tape solves both requirements in a single structure:

  • Hot melt adhesive provides high initial tack and secure fixation to devices
  • Silicone adhesive offers skin safety, low irritation, and clean removal

This dual adhesive design is widely used in wearable medical devices, sensors, and catheter fixation systems.

Why is PU film used as the carrier material?

PU film is selected as the carrier layer because of its superior performance in medical applications:

  • Soft and highly conformable, suitable for curved body areas
  • Breathable, improving comfort during long-term wear
  • Thin and flexible, ideal for low-profile medical devices
  • Resistant to moisture and body movement

Compared with nonwoven or PE carriers, PU film medical fixation tapes offer better comfort and durability for advanced medical devices.

FAQ

1. What is PU double sided medical device fixation tape used for?

It is used to securely fix medical devices to the human body, combining strong device adhesion with skin-friendly performance. Typical uses include wearable devices, sensors, and catheter fixation.

2. Why use silicone adhesive on the skin-contact side?

Silicone adhesive minimizes skin irritation, allows gentle removal, and maintains stable adhesion over long wearing periods, making it ideal for skin-contact medical applications.

3. Can hot melt and silicone adhesives work together in one tape?

Yes. The dual adhesive system is specifically engineered to ensure compatibility and long-term stability, allowing each adhesive to perform its function independently.

4. Can this medical fixation tape be customized for specific devices?

Yes. Adhesive strength, carrier thickness, and tape dimensions can be customized to meet specific medical device requirements.
