SMG: Reducing Surgical Site Infections Through Innovative Medical Devices

SMG

Partner Spotlight: SMG

SMG believes that everyone worldwide should have access to safe healthcare. Hospitals globally face many challenges, including the protection and hygiene of patients and surgical staff, and it is SMG’s ambition to contribute to the reduction of surgical site infections. The company develops, manufactures, and provides high-quality self-adhesive medical devices that are shipped worldwide. These products are applied to surgical covering materials as effective barriers to keep surgical areas sterile. In addition, SMG’s self-adhesive components are essential to various other end-uses and applications.

Our Story

In 2007, SMG expanded its portfolio by introducing the Somed brand (disposable market) alongside its existing Eurotape brand (reusable market) – offering healthcare professionals the best of both worlds. While Somed stands for flexibility, hygiene, and customised solutions, Eurotape excels in durability and high-quality reusable products. Together, the brands form a complete portfolio that meets the needs of healthcare professionals worldwide. Whether for short-term use or long-lasting performance, SMG consistently delivers the right solution.
