Skin-Friendly and Silicone-Free Medical Adhesives

The delicate skin of a newborn baby, the parchment-like epidermis found in the elderly, the vulnerability of an eyelid, the challenges of fixing a catheter in place, the care required when treating pressure sores – these are all situations in which the quality of an adhesive plaster or tape takes on particular importance. In situations involving very sensitive skin, a combination of good initial adhesion and painless removal is needed. And the hot-melt adhesives from the artimeltlowtrauma series by artimelt offer precisely that. According to artimelt, these adhesives offer optimum adhesion and stay put for the intended length of time, but can then be removed painlessly without damaging the skin. The adhesives are gentle on the wound and the surrounding skin, ensuring that the wound-healing process is not compromised by trauma when changing the dressing or plaster.
