Hydrocolloids
Hydrocolloid adhesives are complex polymeric structures that provide skin adhesion and moisture absorbency whilst being both conformable and breathable, making them ideal for device fixation, ostomy and wound care applications. Pronat offers Hydrocolloid materials manufactured by Avery Dennison’s Vancive medical division which provide a wide range of adhesion and fluid handling capabilities. These materials are highly suited for skin fixation applications where the material must be left on the skin for long periods of time.
Hydrocolloids are available as single sided tapes with a PU film or non-woven materials on one side or as double sided pressure sensitive adhesives.
