SoftWear Skin Adhesives

SoftWear® skin adhesives remove gently to enhance patient comfort and minimize the risk of damage to skin upon removal. The family of SoftWear® pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) is available in non-silicone and silicone formulations from AR.

SoftWear® adhesives release cleanly from hair and skin with virtually painless removal to deliver secure, intimate skin contact for wound care and body-worn device applications. The sustained adhesion achieved with SoftWear® adhesives allows for repositioning without compromise to dressing security.
