New surgical tape

Lohmann Technologies Medical Division has launched an all-new surgical tape. DuploMED SUR 624000 has been designed, developed, trialled and tested at Lohmann’s R&D Centre in Germany, and is available from its Milton Keynes manufacturing base.

Although designed specifically for incision film applications, Lohmann says it is also suitable for a variety of other skin fixation applications including wound care and diagnostics.

DuploMED SUR 62400 is a transparent polyurethane film which has been coated with a medical-grade, pressure sensitive adhesive specially developed for use in the medical sector. It can be supplied with or without a polyethylene support film on the non-coated film side and is available in a wide range of sizes and shapes.

Lohmann’s medical sector industry manager, Mel Fox, said: “This new innovation complements a range that continues to be extremely popular with frontline staff for its excellent performance, with patients for its comfort, and with procurement staff for its excellent value.”
