CDMO+ Manufacturing, Health Patches
& Medical Wearables

CDMO+ means Lohmann develops and manufactures your medical adhesive solution while also producing the core materials in-house - from raw adhesives to the finished die-cut component. That single-source setup cuts the number of suppliers you need to manage and shortens your path from prototype to production.

Lohmann works with medical device manufacturers, wearable technology companies, diagnostics companies, and medtech startups that need a development and manufacturing partner for skin-worn devices - from early-stage prototypes to large-volume production. If your product needs a reliable, regulatory-ready adhesive component, our Health Team can help you find the right setup. 

A health patch combines a skin-friendly adhesive with functional elements like printed electronics, flexible circuits, or sensors, so it can measure and transmit health data directly from the body. Lohmann supports the full journey - material selection, product design, prototyping, and scalable manufacturing - as one partner rather than a chain of suppliers.

Our manufacturing platform covers small-volume runs under 100,000 pieces for early-stage testing, customer-based trials, evaluations and approvals, and large-volume production above 100,000 pieces once your product is ready to scale.

Lohmann supplies skin and device adhesives for continuous glucose monitoring sensors, temperature-monitoring patches, health patches, and large-volume injectors, as well as patch pumps, infusion sets, and mobile cardiac telemetry devices. Options range from low-peel-strength tapes to longwear adhesives rated for up to 28+ days of continuous wear.

Yes. Lohmann offers application testing and prototyping support - including in our Application Design Lab - so you can validate adhesion, wear time, and material compatibility on your specific patch or device design before scaling up. This is a good first step for medtech companies still finalizing their product design. 

It depends on the application. Standard wearable adhesives typically hold for several days up to 21 days of continuous wear, and our Longwear skin adhesive (DuploMED 85300) is built for up to 28+ days on skin types that are otherwise hard to adhere to. Some short-term applications, like certain patch pumps, only need an hour of fixation.

Yes. Lohmann's medical-grade skin adhesives are tested and certified as biocompatible according to ISO 10993, and they're formulated to reduce skin irritation for long-term wear.  This makes them a fit for continuous glucose monitors, biosensors, and other wearables worn daily on a wide range of skin types.

Yes. Production for medical adhesive tapes and health patch components takes place in clean-room environments. This keeps particle contamination low and supports the traceability medical device manufacturers need for regulatory approval.
