NEWS RELEASE: Solventum Launches Double-Coated Silicone Medical Tape for Sensitive Skin Making Medical Wearables More Accessible

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Solventum (NYSE: SOLV) announced the launch of its Double-Coated Medical Tape with Hi-Tack Silicone and Acrylate Adhesives on Liner (2487 Hi-Tack Silicone Tape), an advanced adhesive solution designed for sensitive skin that allows medical wearable manufacturers to expand the use of their devices to a broader patient population.

For patients, the skin-contact side of the 2487 Hi-Tack Silicone Tape can be repositioned after initial application for optimal comfort. The new breathable medical tape is fluid-resistant and can be worn for up to seven days with minimal to no skin trauma during removal.

“Adhesive solutions for patients with sensitive skin meet essential healthcare needs. The 2487 Hi-Tack Silicone Tape is safe for patients of all ages, including pediatric, and those with chronic conditions that compromise skin integrity,” said Chad Reed, director of Medical Technologies OEM, Solventum.

A clean, non-fluorinated release liner and backing bond design leaves minimal residue on both skin and medical devices when removed. As part of Solventum’s Hi-Tack Silicone Adhesive Portfolio, the 2487 Hi-Tack Silicone Tape is ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization compatible.
