6 Reasons to Work with JBC Technologies for Your Pulse Oximeter Bandage Converting Needs

Adhesive skin patches are becoming more and more prevalent in short and long-term patient monitoring applications. Not only does their disposable nature ensure cleanliness, some advocate that because the adhesive patch is in direct contact with the skin, the measurements are also more accurate than you’d get with a band or other option.

Yet skin is complex to bond to for a number of reasons – the surface energy of the skin, the need for flexibility and bi-directional stretch, and more. It is especially difficult when you are trying to design for patients of all ages. And, turning skin-friendly tapes and adhesives into finished pulse oximeter bandages requires state-of-the-art equipment and engineering prowess that many converters don’t have.  

It is important to work with a converter that has strong relationships with multiple adhesive manufacturers as well as the high speed, precision die-cutting equipment needed to produce complex parts… and one that will go the extra mile to ensure customer success.
