Medical Applications
Low-trauma adhesives for easy application and gentle removal.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives engineered for sensitive skin — gentle adhesion, repositionability, and minimal trauma at removal.
Low-trauma pressure-sensitive adhesives are commonly used in stick-to-skin medical devices. Their benefits include gentle adhesion, ease of application, sensitive-skin compatibility, and repositionability.
DermaMed supports low-trauma adhesive applications across three populations in particular: wound-care patients who need reliable adhesion without irritation; neonatal and geriatric populations with fragile skin that needs specially formulated adhesives; and healthcare professionals who benefit from repositionable properties for electrode and sensor placement.
What the construction has to deliver.
Selecting an adhesive for this application means aligning chemistry, substrate, and performance with what the device actually does in use.
-
Gentle adhesion
Holds securely without aggressive bonding to fragile skin.
-
Removal trauma
Designed to minimize trauma when the construction is removed.
-
Repositionability
Repositionable on first application without losing performance.
-
Skin compatibility
Formulated for sensitive skin and compromised tissue.
-
Application
Easy to apply at the bedside or in the field.
