WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DuPont
(NYSE: DD), a globally recognized leader in silicone-based
technology with more than 70 years of experience advancing
healthcare through materials innovation, is introducing DuPont™
Liveo™, a new brand name for its extensive range of silicone
healthcare solutions.
Inspired by the terms "live" and "to be alive," the new Liveo™
brand name reflects DuPont Healthcare's drive to create
next-generation, innovative solutions that can help patients live
life to the fullest.
"As the new name for the longest legacy in healthcare applied
silicones brought by DOW CORNING™, Liveo™ stands for smarter
healthcare and positive patient outcomes," says DuPont™ Liveo™
Healthcare Global Marketing Manager Jennifer Gemo Mathis.
More than a name change, the Liveo™ brand reinforces DuPont's
commitment in healthcare and renewed energy to build on more than
70 years of innovation development capabilities, regulatory and
manufacturing know-how, and application expertise.
Historically marketed with a DOW CORNING™ or SILASTIC™ trade
name, the product offering and packaging material are not changing,
and all locations will continue to manufacture the same products,
using the same rigorous processes and quality oversight as before.
Looking ahead, the Liveo™ brand will reinforce DuPont's competitive
advantages and leadership positions in three key healthcare markets
– Biopharmaceutical Processing, Pharmaceutical Solutions and
Medical Devices.
"We are making significant investments in both capital and
resources to strengthen our strategic capabilities to support our
customers' leadership in key healthcare industry market segments,
and we are particularly proud of the contribution that our teams
and products have provided to our customers without disruptions
during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak," says DuPont™ Liveo™
Healthcare Global Business Director Eugenio
Toccalino.
The Liveo™ brand product line includes pharma tubing and
overmolded assemblies for single-use systems in biopharma
processing, transdermal and topical drug delivery systems, medical
adhesives for advanced wound care and ostomy care and wearables,
silicone elastomers for a wide range of specialty medical devices,
