Comfortable, Reliable, Flexible

Lohmann develops, produces, coats and die-cuts skin-friendly, biocompatible adhesive technologies that ensure both patient comfort and long-term device performance for the needs of sensitive and stressed skin (elderly people, children or athletes), offering high breathability, water resistance as well as a residue-free and painless removability. Our solutions that have been used for clinical and precise diagnostic products enable seamless integration of sensors and functional components. With EN ISO 13485-certified manufacturing and scalable processes from prototype to high-volume production, we help you bring innovative wearable devices safely and efficiently to market.

A Variety of Customized Wearables Solutions

As an experienced partner for adhesive-coated materials and precision die-cuts in medical applications, Lohmann brings decades of know-how to stick-to-skin solutions for wearable technologies. Our expertise spans the full product lifecycle – from ideation and material selection to prototyping and scalable production.

Whether short- or long-term skin adhesion, applications on neonatal or geriatric skin, or requirements for mechanical strength and functionality – we develop tailor-made adhesive tapes and multilayer constructions to meet the specific demands of modern medical wearables. Supplied as roll goods or converted parts, our solutions are engineered for performance, patient comfort, and ease of integration into your manufacturing processes.

We support a wide range of wearable applications, including:

  • Patch Pumps: Skin-friendly fixation for drug delivery systems, from short to multi-day wear.
  • Sensor Fixation: Reliable adhesion for continuous
    vital sign monitoring on all skin types.Lohmann-visual-medical-wearables-applications-icon
  • Infusion Sets: Secure, long-wear bonding for comfortable and safe infusion applications.
  • Cardiac Monitoring: Adhesives for mobile ECG devices with extended wear and waterproof use.
  • Device Integration: Functional layers for printed electronics, membranes, and smart features.

Smart Bonding Solutions from Skin to System

Lohmann delivers fully integrated adhesive solutions for medical wearables – from biocompatible, skin-friendly adhesives for short- and long-term wear to high-performance bonding layers for device integration, including printed electronics. Available in roll or die-cut formats and manufactured under strict process controls, our materials ensure reliability, comfort, and long-term stability across all stages of your product lifecycle – from concept to scalable production.

Health Patch

When using health patches over a longer period of time, e.g. for measuring cardiac telemetry, precise positioning of the device is necessary. For this application, Lohmann offers medical adhesive tapes that allow painless and residue-free removal and repositioning on the skin to ensure optimal measurement results.

Your benefits

  • High adhesive strength of the tape on the skin ensures strong attachment of the wearable from the first moment
  • Increased patient comfort due to flexible material
  • The double-sided adhesive tape with its thin PET carrier acts as a protective film between the skin and the printed electronics
  • Advanced functional integration and manufacturing technlogies

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

CGM devices require a reliable and durable stick-to-skin patch to provide reliable results over a long wear time. Lohmann offers a solution for this requirement: a skin adhesive with a wear time of 21 days, improving the overall wearing comfort and the customer experience.

Your benefits

  • The high adhesive strength of the tape on the skin ensures a strong attachment of the wearable from the first moment onwards
  • Strong adhesive strength ensures wearability for more than 21 days
  • Highly flexible backing material allows the patch to adapt to the movements of the skin and thus reduce skin irritation during the wear time
  • Good breathability of the adhesive tapes used allows moisture to escape optimally

Large Volume Injector

Our single-use patch solutions for large volume injectors are equipped with repositionable tapes, ensuring a comfortable use for the self-injection of liquid drugs (e.g. for cancer treatment) at home. Depending on your application, our product offers wear durations from 10 minutes to 2 hours.

Your benefits

  • High adhesive strength of the tape to the skin ensures strong attachment from the first moment of use
  • Low peel strength for easy removal after use
  • Repositionable adhesive tape for optimal adhesion
  • Good shear strength of the tape prevents slippage of the wearable during injection

Continuous Temperature Measurement

Devices which continuously monitor body parameters, such as temperature, especially require a reliable bond. While ensuring the close contact of the sensors to skin, our skin-friendly bonding solution have also an integrated barrier film to the printed electronics for skin protection.

Your benefits

  • DuploMED 8411: Adhesive on the skin side, including a thin PET backing, acts as a barrier film to protect the skin from the printed electronics
  • DuploMED ELE 77300 / DuploMED 22260: Barrier to protect electronics from external influences such as temperature and water
