Healthcare Foam Tapes & Adhesives: Transforming Flexible Materials into Ready-to Use Solutions

At ADDEV Materials Healthcare, we specialize in converting high-performance foams into application-ready solutions through advanced lamination and precision manufacturing. By combining world-class foams with specialized adhesives, we create customized medical foam tapes  that enhance comfort, improve reliability, and support patient safety.

High-Performance Foams for Healthcare

We convert a wide range of foams engineered for medical use. From BISCO silicone foams for high temperature sealing to PORON polyurethanes for cushioning and impact absorption, each material delivers distinct advantages.

Some of the foams featured that are great for medical devices and equipment include:

  • Rogers BISCO® HT-870 – A silicone foam with excellent durability, softness, and compression set resistance, ideal for gasketing and sealing applications.
  • Rogers PORON® 4790-92 – A very soft polyurethane foam designed for high compression set resistance, often used for cushioning and protective padding.
  • Rogers PORON® AquaPro® 4701-41 – A polyurethane foam engineered for water sealing and environmental protection, making it ideal for devices exposed to moisture.

Adding Value Through Adhesive Lamination

Foams like Rogers BISCO and PORON are typically supplied without adhesives, which means they require lamination before being ready for use in devices that require a foam tape. ADDEV Materials’ expertise lies in die cutting and laminating these foams with advanced adhesives to create high-performance adhesive foam tapes for gasketing, seals, or cushioning layers, as well as foam padding with adhesive backing for comfort-driven applications.

By laminating foams with carefully selected adhesives, we also produce durable adhesive foam sheets designed for sealing, vibration control, and structural support in medical device and life science equipment. These laminated constructions allow device designers to integrate foam solutions quickly and reliably, while ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Two examples of adhesives we frequently apply to foams include:

  • Avery Dennison MED 6000 – A medical-grade adhesive designed for skin contact applications, ideal for wearables, patches, and comfort-focused devices. (doesn’t the description mention something about laminating to foam? We should include that here)
  • Avery Dennison MED 3044 – A versatile medical adhesive optimized for long-term wear, stability, and consistent performance. (again, should also speak to how it is good to laminate to foams)

By laminating foams with adhesives like these, we deliver solutions tailored to specific requirements — from cushioning in orthotic supports to long-lasting seals in diagnostic and surgical equipment.

Precision Converting for Medical Devices

Our role doesn’t stop at lamination. With decades of experience and ISO 13485-certified facilities, ADDEV Materials provides full-service converting to ensure foams and adhesives are manufactured to exacting standards. Our capabilities include:

  • Converting: Rotary, flatbed, and laser die-cutting, slitting, spooling, laminating, and clean room manufacturing.
  • Printing: Flexographic and digital
  • Contract manufacturing: Custom product assembly and packaging
  • Material selection: Premier/preferred status for many world-class material suppliers
  • Distribution: Custom packaging and filling for liquid material and slit widths for a variety of flexible materials including adhesives, tapes, foams, films, fibers, non-wovens and wovens.

 

Double-Sided Medical Adhesive Tape: Precision Bonding from Concept to Clinical Use

At ADDEV Materials Healthcare, we specialize in converting advanced adhesive materials into application-ready double-sided medical adhesive tape solutions. Through expert converting, laminating, die-cutting, and cleanroom processing, we deliver medical tapes that ensure secure adhesion, patient comfort, and regulatory reliability across diagnostic, wearable, and surgical devices.

Engineered for Medical Bonding Excellence

Rather than starting from foam, our focus is on Double Medical Adhesive Tape, also known as medical double sided tape, two sided medical tape, or clear double sided tape. These versatile, medical-grade tapes are formulated to bond films, fabrics, plastics, and even skin, while ensuring biocompatibility, breathability, and processing compatibility for cleanroom and automated manufacturing environments ADDEV Materials Healthcare.

Applications include:

  • Wearable Devices – Secure fixation of CGMs, insulin pumps, and health monitors
  • Diagnostics – Bonding layer stacks in microfluidics, test cartridges, or surgical assembly
  • Wound Care & Surgical Components – Fast, clean, and durable adhesion for dressings and procedural fixtures.

Below are a few tapes that are ideal for diverse medical uses:

Dermamed™ DM 8019 (Clear Double-Sided Medical Adhesive Tape)

This clear double sided tape features a polyethylene film carrier coated on both sides with medical-grade acrylic adhesive. It delivers strong adhesion between flexible or semi-rigid substrates, making it ideal for advanced wound care, wearable patches, surgical drape assemblies, and NPWT systems. It’s supplied on a paper liner for hygienic, user-friendly handling and is fully biocompatible.

Solventum™ 2477P (Double-Sided Film Tape for Skin Attachment)

An acrylic-silicone hybrid, this medical double sided tape uses a TPE film carrier with silicone acrylate adhesives. It’s breathable, conformable, gentle to skin, and repositionable—an excellent choice for sensitive skin applications, wearable medical assemblies, and long-term use devices ADDEV Materials Healthcare.

ARcare® 93691 (Differential Double-Coated Tape)

This tape features dual acrylic PSAs, one light and one aggressive—on either side of a white non-woven PET scrim. Known for double sided medical tape applications, it offers differential adhesion: one side offers strong bonding to device polymers (like polycarbonate), while the other side adheres aggressively to skin-adhesive backings (like non-wovens), ideal for wearable device interfaces. It’s breathable, biocompatible, and supports active lifestyles with water-resistant performance ADDEV Materials Healthcare.

Avery Dennison MED 6001SI

This is a double-coat, transparent (clear) medical double-sided tape made with a TPU film carrier. One side features a soft silicone adhesive for gentle, repositionable skin contact; the other side has an acrylic adhesive for strong bonding to a variety of substrates. The tape is conformable, transparent, atraumatic on removal, and designed for advanced wound care dressings, patient monitoring systems, and wearable healthcare devices.
