As an ISO 13485 certified manufacturer of medical device components and a specialist in hook and loop fastening systems, Halco works closely with wearable device OEMs in a couple different ways.

First, we are a supplier of specialty medical grade hook and loop materials and also on-skin or near-skin adhesive systems for medical device assembly. Second, we provide engineering support and advanced converting services including adhesive lamination and die-cutting.

The combination of these specialty fastening materials and our converting services is used to make attachment systems, closure systems and uniquely crafted hook and loop straps for these wearable technologies. In the images below, you can see several of these straps, fabricated by Halco, for wearable device manufacturers.
