DermaMed Coatings is a medical adhesive tape manufacturer and custom contract coater specializing in pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) technologies for medical device manufacturers. The company partners with OEMs, design engineers, and product developers to create custom adhesive solutions for wound care, wearable devices, surgical products, diagnostics, and other stick-to-skin applications. Supported by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in adhesive chemistry, engineering, coating, and converting, DermaMed guides customers from raw material selection through product launch while maintaining rigorous quality standards.

About DermaMed Coatings

DermaMed Coatings focuses on the development and manufacturing of advanced pressure-sensitive adhesive materials for medical applications. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all products, the company works collaboratively with medical device manufacturers to develop adhesive systems tailored to each application’s technical, regulatory, and performance requirements.

Its capabilities extend from initial consultation and prototype design through implementation, manufacturing, and production support. By combining technical material knowledge with responsive customer service, DermaMed serves as a turnkey partner for organizations developing next-generation medical devices and low-trauma skin-contact products.

Technical Expertise & Specialized Materials

The engineering team supports a broad range of target medical applications, explicitly categorized by the manufacturer as:

  • Consumer Products

  • Diagnostics

  • Drapes

  • Low Trauma

  • Pulse Oxymetry

  • Wearable Devices

  • Wound Care

To support these applications, DermaMed manufactures, laminates, and converts a diverse inventory of specialized materials:

  • Absorbents: Engineered for moisture and fluid management in wound care.

  • Breathable Films: Designed to reduce infection risks in sensitive burns or chronic wounds.

  • Foams: Providing cushioning to protect compromised skin and promote faster healing.

  • Laminates: Combining non-woven layers and films for waterproof protection in surgical gowns and drapes.

  • Wovens & Nonwovens: Ranging from high-strength durable fabrics to soft, highly absorbent contaminant barriers.

  • Polyethylene and Polypropylene Films: Delivering superior tear strength, heat resistance, optical clarity, and conformability.

  • Transfer Films: Free layers of medical-grade adhesive without a carrier, used for precise application in wearables.

 

Quality Standards & Certified Processes

Quality management and stringent controls are core components of DermaMed’s facility. The company maintains the latest regulatory standards required for medical device compliance, operating with the following active certifications:

  • ISO 13485:2025 (Medical Devices Quality Management)

  • ISO 9001:2025 (General Quality Management)

 

The 5-Step Development Process

Every project follows a structured, efficient manufacturing and engineering lifecycle to ensure scalability and performance:

  1. Consultation: Evaluating the end-product application, physical properties, adhesion strength, and compatible materials.
  2. Product Solutions: Application engineers provide material recommendations and present lab samples for evaluation.
  3. Testing and Modifications: Adhesive samples are rigorously tested and modified based on trial results and client feedback.
  4. Production: Full-scale manufacturing begins. Technicians continually monitor coating consistency, web thickness, adhesion strength, and residual solvent retention.
  5. Launch and Delivery: Ensuring timely delivery of adhesive components for product launch and market availability while meeting all regulatory expectations.

 

Industry Commitment & Partnerships

DermaMed continues to focus exclusively on adhesive technologies for medical and healthcare applications. As an active member of the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC), the company remains engaged with developments across the adhesive manufacturing industry.

Unlike rigid suppliers, DermaMed utilizes a consultative approach—frequently investing upfront in custom work, state-of-the-art materials, and long-term accounts to help medical manufacturers bring innovative products to market efficiently, predictably, and within budget.
