The Definitive Guide to Die-Cutting for Wearable Devices and Stick-to-Skin Products
Wearable medical technology is opening the door for a world of innovative healthcare solutions. From continuous glucose monitoring systems to pulse oximetry tapes and nasal strips, medical manufacturers are designing new ways to integrate these wearable technologies into our day-to-day lives.
Custom die-cutting and flexible materials converting play a big part in manufacturing medical components, including attachment tapes, skin-contact adhesives, and EMI/RFI shielding for medical electronics.
Designing these devices is only half of the battle, though. Some designs may look great on paper but are impossible to produce at scale. As simple as a die-cut component may seem, the fabrication process may reveal the inefficiency or impossibility of production. Working with a converting partner to understand the die-cutting process from the start allows you to skip the costly roadblocks and redesigns, leading to a part that can be successfully manufactured the first time.
