Collaborative Partnership

As a customer-focused organization, we value building lasting collaborative relationships. Together, we generate new ways to introduce and develop solutions that improve patient care: our products are designed for effective and user-friendly use in every scenario. We offer a full range of services for medical device manufacturers, including regulatory support, product selection and development, bio-compatibility and sterilisation (with partners).

Avery Dennison Medical can offer OEMs and converters a tailored collaborative partnership with guidance through the following steps, no matter what stage you are at: 

Design: Avery Dennison Medical’s research and development team collaborates directly with yours to assess the opportunity. We will listen not only to your specific needs in terms of scale, therapy area focus, material properties and adhesive requirements, but also discuss pricing considerations, the desired stage in the value chain (rolled, converted, or finished goods), and your preference for standard or custom products. Our R&D experts will use this information and their experience in adhesive chemistry and materials science to generate a range of possible solutions.

Development: Our dedicated team of adhesive chemists, materials scientists, engineers, marketing and sales experts help bring the product to the market. Avery Dennison Medical’s parallel-track approach to prototype testing and iteration process can be completed in a very short timeframe. We can develop customized wound care adhesives in one of our three research and development facilities. 

Delivery: We offer multiple manufacturing plants around the globe with certified ISO 13485 or ISO 9001 quality systems. Avery Dennison Medical provides an extensive set of coating technologies such as gravure, roll, extrusion, several adhesive systems (hot melt, solvent, emulsion, curable and UV curable), corona treatment and liner and carrier printing, among others. In terms of converting options, OEMs and converters can benefit from our expertise in rotary die-cutting, slitting, and island placement, radio frequency & high frequency welding, tube and bottle filling, and pouching and packaging. 

In addition to the development of custom formulations that offer features such as long-term wear, moisture management and gentle removal, we offer a large portfolio of high-quality private label, finished wound care products such as wound dressings and skin barrier films.
