Soluble adhesive strips and other soluble adhesive products are a specific category of medical adhesives that dissolve when they come into contact with water, steam, or specific temperatures. They are designed to temporarily fix surgical textiles, instruments, or dressings in place while they are being prepared, sterilized, or used for a brief period of time. After that, they completely dissolve during routine patient washing or sterilization cycles, like showers, eliminating the need for manual removal. Though the adhesive layer is robust and dependable when in use, it is designed to decompose completely and leave no trace behind. For applications needing stable but adaptable adhesion in sterile settings, soluble strips offer a more versatile and hygienic option. They combine effectiveness, sustainability, and patient safety with adhesive performance and are perfect for use in operating rooms, sterilization trays, and instrument prep. Thanks to SMG soluble adhesive strips, achieve better workflows and less medical waste—all without compromising functionality in active use.

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 EurotapeYes—soluble surgical strips are formulated to fully dissolve under controlled conditions, such as a standard hospital washing cycle or exposure to steam sterilization. Unlike traditional surgical strips, which must be peeled or cut away by hand, these advanced materials disappear without a trace at a predetermined phase or point in time of the medical process. The chemical composition of the adhesive and backing material is precisely tuned to maintain strength during use, yet completely dissolves when it comes into contact with water, steam, and temperature. This makes it a great fit for use with reusable surgical gowns and drapes, where leaving adhesive residue can be harmful.
Connecting
with care
In rapidly changing or high-stress environments where prep time may be limited, pre-cut surgical strips save a significant amount of time. Conveniently sized for immediate application, SMG surgical strips and tapes don't require any cutting, trimming, or preparation. Every strip has an easy-peel backing for effortless handling, which is perfect for sterile settings where precision and speed are critical. Since soluble pre-cut strips guarantee consistent fixation every time, there is less room for error. They work as needed and remain firmly attached to dressings, devices, drapes, or instruments until they dissolve on their own. Individually-packaged and pre-cut surgical strips thus guarantee uniform placement and expedite prepping time, whether sterilizing trays or arranging a surgical suite. They are an environmentally-friendly solution that makes post-procedure cleanup easier than ever due to their water-soluble nature. As a result, medical personnel can work more efficiently and hygienically without sacrificing effectiveness.
