Top Skin-Contact Adhesive Tapes for Pulse Oximetry Applications

We’ve also talked about key pulse ox adhesive selection criteria. Today, we want to highlight some of the medical adhesive tapes offered by a few of our key supplier partners that are particularly applicable in die cut pulse oximetry products.   

Pulse Oximetry Adhesive Selection - Part 2

As we mentioned earlier in 9 key factors to consider when selecting an adhesive tape for your pulse oximetry application there are multiple layers that go into a disposable die cut pulse oximetry bandage, and each of those layers will have varying performance requirements.   But the device layer isn’t the only thing that will drive adhesive selection – use case is also important. Some tapes are designed to be worn over the course of several days, while others are designed for relatively short periods of time.
