Avery Dennison Medical, is launching eight new products at the 2019 Medica International Trade Fair, which takes place this week at the Messe Düsseldorf.

Medica also marks the official unveiling of Avery Dennison Medical as the new unified brand for Vancive Medical Technologies and Finesse Medical.

The company is showcasing a diverse range of new adhesive medical materials and private label wound care solutions designed for use by medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEM). “For applications ranging from glucose monitors to ostomy appliances, each new material is designed for both optimal patient experience and manufacturability,” said Deepak Prakash, Senior Director, Global Marketing, Avery Dennison Medical.

Three of the new products, MED 5740, MED 5741 and MED 5742, are single-coated adhesive materials designed for long-term, multi-week wear for applications such as glucose monitors, insulin pumps, activity trackers, electrocardiogram monitors and other mobile health and wellness products. All are soft, conformable and breathable.

One new product is a five-layer silicone foam border dressing for private labelling. This dressing, designed to manage moderate to high wound exudate, features a PU foam and super-absorbent fibre composite pad. The product is breathable, offers gentle adhesion to the skin and maintains a moist wound healing environment, according to the company.
