Advancing the Evolution of Skin-Contact Adhesion Technology

Whether used in wound care products, ostomy applications, or for adhering wearable devices to skin, advanced pressure-sensitive adhesives are being created to improve breathability, absorbency, and porosity and to deliver atraumatic removal. The objective is to provide a long-lasting bond for extended wear and a gentle patient experience, while also including all the additional properties required for a medical adhesive such as noncytotoxic, nonirritating, nonsensitizing, compatible with sterilization, 100 percent solid after curing/coating and manufacturable in industrial scale.
