Ensuring the quality of materials that come into contact with the patient's skin during the procedure is just as important as post-surgery. A new type of surgical adhesive that prioritizes skin safety and supports sterile fields is called biocompatible tape technology. Designed for use in operating rooms (ORs), these cutting-edge tapes combine skin-friendly materials with strong long-lasting adhesion to provide safe, sterile, and secure fixation at every stage of surgery. As a result, biocompatible surgical tapes help lower risks, lessen post-operative irritation, and enhance patient outcomes, especially when you're working with sensitive or compromised skin.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are key steps forward to greener healthcare. The wash soluble properties of our medical tape and self-adhesive accessories are essential to enable the multiple use reusable technical drapes (up to 70 wash cycles).
Go to EurotapeBiocompatible surgical tapes are medical adhesives created specifically to work safely and harmoniously with human tissue. Thus, biocompatible surgical tapes are subjected to rigorous testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation, guaranteeing that they satisfy strict clinical safety standards. Five essential properties of biocompatible surgical tapes include:
In contrast, conventional tapes may increase the risk of irritation, blistering, or allergic reactions. When it comes to long procedures or with vulnerable groups like newborns or elderly patients, these tapes are a reliable option in high-stakes surgical settings where preserving skin integrity is essential. Often called hypoallergenic surgical tapes, they provide gentle adhesion without sacrificing performance, making them perfect for people who are prone to skin conditions and/or allergic reactions.
Common misconception: There is a common misconception that “biocompatible” means that a tape dissolves. This is not the case. The term simply means that the tape is safe to use inside or on the human body. Tape that can dissolve falls under the category of “Dissolvable Adhesives”, such as water-soluble tapes.
Connecting
with care
Every material used in the operating room needs to function consistently under pressure to withstand the various stresses exerted on it during operations. Because of this, OR tapes made with biocompatible tape technology are incredibly durable and safe. These tapes are essential during intricate surgical procedures because they retain their adherence even in humid, highly mobile, or hot environments. They remain firmly attached to skin or drape materials during the procedure thanks to their robust, medical-grade adhesives and moisture-resistant backings. Their strong adhesive strength makes them a reliable application across irregular anatomical surfaces, and their sterile, single-use packaging guarantees infection control. High-performance surgical tapes excel in all areas when safety, sterility, and performance are crucial.
Combining high adhesion strength and hypoallergenic qualities is a significant development in biocompatible tape technology. Soft adhesives didn't last as long in the past, but newer technologies implemented in the present by Soest Medical Group combine the best qualities of soft and hard adhesives. Thus, modern hypoallergenic surgical tapes achieve a firm, secure fixation while using gentle skin-safe materials and low-irritation adhesives. This minimizes disruptions during surgery by guaranteeing that surgical dressings, tubes, drapes, and equipment stay firmly in place. They can even be reapplied as many times as needed during the procedure without needing to be replaced. High-adhesion surgical tapes offer comfort in cardiac, orthopedic, or ophthalmic surgery by guaranteeing stability even on moist or moving skin surfaces and preventing trauma during removal during and post-surgery.
