Functions

Gentle to Skin	Breathable	Water Resistant/ Moisture Permeable

Gentle to Skin

Nitto developed a special adhesive that is gentle on the skin and can be removed without causing visible damage, even on thin newspaper.
Applicable products: ST-276/ST-279/ST-2410/ST-2604/ST-534
※YUKI-BAN is one of the brand names for our gentle to skin adhesive

Breathable

The “gaps” in the adhesive coating allows for better breathability, which reduces the discomfort caused by the moisture buildup under the tape.
Applicable products: ST-245 / ST-2410 / ST-2604

Water Resistant/Moisture Permeable

Nitto developed a thin film tape that offers excellent water resistance. In this example, the thin tape and a conventional tape are immersed in colored water.
The conventional tape leaks, leaving a stain on the gauze. But the thin film tape remains clean.

*Nitto does not guarantee absolute water resistance or moisture permeability for any applications.

Applicable products: ST-276/ST-279

External Collaborations

Nitto actively participates in external collaborations to improve the functionality of skin adhesive technologies and to provide even more value for wearable devices/body sensors.

Stanford eWear

Stanford eWear enables Stanford researchers and companies from various industries to collaborate on the development of wearable devices, materials, system integration, software and application verification. By participating in this program, Nitto aims to develop new materials and technologies in relation to wearables/body sensors. Click here for details.

Consortium led by Byteflies

A Belgian consortium of seven medical and technological companies is developing patch-type wearable devices for a wide range of applications, such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and COVID-19. By participating in this consortium, Nitto will continue to enhance medical adhesive tapes for wearables/body sensors.

Applications

New types of wearable devices/body sensors are under development every day. Nitto can provide solutions for a wide variety of needs.

Device Types　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Rigid devices

Flexible/stretchable devices

Fixation tapes for wearable devices/body sensors are not limited to double-sided medical tapes. Double-sided tapes for electronic devices can be used in combination with single-sided medical tapes (combination tape) and single-sided medical tapes can be used as cover tapes. We will help you select the most suitable product for your wearable device/body sensor.
