Silicone Adhesives offer advantages for performance and patient comfort
Silicone adhesives are preferred for many medical applications because they deliver the appropriate adhesion with gentle removal. Throughout the device’s application time, therapeutic wear and removal, the selected adhesive must ensure that the device stays in place and doesn’t damage the patient’s skin. Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives for geriatric, neonatal and other fragile skincare applications deliver enhanced patient comfort, extended wear time, and minimized risk of damage upon removal.
When using a silicone adhesive, it is imperative to choose the right release liner. Traditional silicone adhesives will not properly release from traditional silicone-based release coatings. Higher processing temperatures are required to cure these silicone adhesives. Fox River Associates has the experience and expertise to help you determine the right release liner for your application.
