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.
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD)
today announced that it is introducing
DuPont™ Liveo™ Soft Skin Conductive
Tape 1-3150 – a silicone-based thermoset adhesive for electrical
biosignal sensing and transfer.
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 repositionability with
gentle adhesion and atraumatic removal. It can 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™ Liveo™ Healthcare with several
other tapes in the pipeline for medical wearables."
Alexis Bobenrieth, Technical
Service & Development/R&D Professional and Medical Device
Expert, DuPont™ Liveo™ Healthcare added:
"combined skin contact and electronics expertise applied to smart
wearables have helped develop a solution that matches the
industry's requirements for longer-term patient comfort and signal
quality. We have leveraged our deep coating expertise to help
converters develop the right process conditions to adopt
Liveo™ tape in their production process."
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.
Dedicated Liveo™ research teams collaborate with
manufacturers worldwide to create solutions across a vast array of
medical applications – including smart devices that share data
between patients and doctors, empowering patients with greater
independence.
DuPont will showcase the Liveo™ Smart Soft Skin
Conductive Tape at the MEDICA Trade Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, from November 13 through 16. The
Liveo™ team of experts will be at Stand D33 in the
Wearable Technologies Pavilion in Hall 12.
