Selecting the right adhesive or component for a medical device is a critical step in product development. Avery Dennison Medical understands the complexities of designing for skin contact, mobility, and clinical performance. To support engineers, designers, and procurement professionals, the company offers a structured approach to product selection — one that ensures technical compatibility and regulatory compliance.
The role of The Product Selector tool
The Product Selector is an intuitive online tool created by Avery Dennison Medical to help users find the most suitable materials for their applications. Whether you’re searching for a breathable film for wound dressings, a soft silicone adhesive for fragile skin, or a pressure-sensitive tape for wearable sensors, the tool filters options based on technical specifications and use cases.
Users can narrow their search by:
Adhesive chemistry (e.g. acrylic, silicone, hydrocolloid)
Intended application (e.g. wound care, diagnostics, wearable devices)
Performance requirements (e.g. wear time, moisture resistance, flexibility)
This guided process helps accelerate development timelines by reducing trial-and-error and aligning design goals with proven materials.
Why product selection matters in healthcare
Materials used in medical applications must not only meet physical requirements — such as adhesion and durability — but also patient-centered needs like comfort and biocompatibility. Inconsistent adhesion, allergic reactions, or residue on removal can lead to clinical complications and reduced patient satisfaction. Avery Dennison Medical’s product range is engineered to strike a careful balance between technical performance and skin safety.
Avery Dennison Medical’s product expertise
With decades of experience in healthcare materials, Avery Dennison Medical offers far more than off-the-shelf solutions. Their team works directly with customers to customize coatings, adhesives, and constructions that meet unique device needs. Whether for single-use disposables or reusable components, their product portfolio supports high-volume manufacturing, rapid scaling, and global distribution.
A tool backed by technical support
The Product Selector isn’t just a standalone search engine — it’s connected to a global network of experts who can validate choices, provide samples, and support regulatory documentation. This ensures a seamless transition from material selection to product development and production.
Conclusion
Avery Dennison Medical empowers device innovators with high-performance materials and tools like The Product Selector, which simplifies the process of choosing the right adhesive solutions for clinical use. From prototyping to large-scale production, this resource helps bring better, safer medical technologies to market faster and more efficiently.
