Stick to Skin Adhesive Solutions for Pulse Ox Tape Applications: Finding the Right Material
In the realm of modern healthcare, pulse oximeters stands as a cornerstone technology, playing a crucial role in monitoring patient health. It's a non-invasive method used to measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood, providing vital information about a patient's respiratory function. This simple yet powerful device has revolutionized patient care, particularly in critical settings such as intensive care units (ICUs), emergency rooms, and operating rooms.
Pulse oximetry adhesive tapes are very common for patient monitoring applications. One main benefit when using pulse oximetry adhesive tapes is the adhesive comes in direct contact with the skin making the measurements more accurate than other more indirect methods. Another benefit to using pulse oximetry tapes is that they are disposable, which ensures cleanliness.
Because the pulse oximetry tapes require adhering to skin, it's paramount for the patient's comfortability that the adhesive material is non-irritative, breathable, and gentle.
The Challenge
Skin is a complex surface and finding an adhesive material that is capable of sticking to skin can be a challenge for many reasons. Stick to skin materials need to be gentle, non-irritative, flexible, and stretch in multiple directions.
Not only can it be difficult to find a material that fits all the above criteria, but it is also critical to find a converter with precision die cutting equipment, ISO certified clean rooms and technical expertise in pulse oximetry tape applications to help bring these products to life.
