Long-Term Wear Adhesives

ARcare® skin-friendly, long-term wear adhesive technologies are formulated to achieve a secure bond for applications requiring wear times up to fourteen days.

These adhesive technologies are well-suited for extended wear times in dressings intended for difficult-to-adhere to wound sites or skin-bonded wearable devices applications.

Benefits:

•    Secure wear, minimal edge lift (14 days and beyond)
•    Minimal pain upon removal (Wong Baker <3)
•    Tailorable wear times
•    Limited adhesive & dressing creep
•    Residue-free removal
•    Breathable (MVTR of 1,000 g/m2/day on PU film)
•    Retains adhesive properties at 25 kGy (Gamma)
•    Biocompatible per ISO 10993

Applications:

•    Wound care dressing
•    Skin-bonded monitoring devices (wearable sensors)
•    Drug or therapeutic delivery systems (infusion pumps)
•    Transdermal patches
