DuPont recently introduced a new tape that’s safe for skin for medical monitoring devices. DuPont Liveo Soft Skin Conductive Tape 1-3150 is a silicone-based thermoset adhesive for electrical biosignal sensing and transfer.
A new silicone-based soft skin conductive tape from DuPont will support the development of biosignal-monitoring devices with stable data quality and high patient comfort.
Combining the key benefits of silicone technology with electrically conductive properties, Liveo Soft Skin Conductive Tape technology is intended for use as a skin dry electrode in biosignal monitoring applications to enable long-term patient monitoring with stable data quality and high patient comfort.
The new conductive tape is intended to be used as a skin interface for electric biosignal monitoring that requires good skin conformability, no drying over time, and can be repositioned with gentle adhesion and atraumatic removal. It can also be used in single electrodes for short-term monitoring and is best suited in medical wearable patches for long-term monitoring lasting seven or more days.
“Wearable biosignal-monitoring devices can enable patients to better monitor and track their own conditions outside of hospital facilities, empowering them to participate in and manage their own care,” said DuPont Liveo Healthcare Global strategic marketing leader Jennifer Gemo. “To meet the needs of both patients and physicians, device manufacturers are calling for the development of long-wear patches for remote patient-monitoring that remain comfortable over the required wear time while ensuring high data quality. That’s where our new Liveo Soft Skin Conductive Tape technology is expected to play a major role.”
This is the first market launch of its kind for DuPont for medical wearables.
DuPont offers a broad portfolio of high-performance, medical-grade elastomers, adhesives, resins, and thermoplastics designed to meet the rigorous requirements of wearable medical devices. The company also provides support in the areas of materials research, application development, technology, safety, and regulatory compliance.
