McNichol L, Lund C, Rosen T, Gray M. Medical adhesives and patient safety: state of the science: consensus statements for the assessment, prevention, and treatment of adhesive-related skin injuries. J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs. 2013 Jul-Aug;40(4):365-80; quiz E1-2. doi: 10.1097/WON.0b013e3182995516. PMID: 23759927. For reusable medical products, durability and the ability to withstand frequent sterilization play a vital role. Cured acrylate adhesives have a high resistance to sterilization by autoclaving, gamma radiation and ETO. These methods have no measurable negative impact on Panacol's medical grade adhesives. Electron-beam sterilization has even been shown to improve the adhesion of some medical grade adhesives of the Vitralit® series. This is due to an increase in the degree of polymerization of these products. Pittiruti M, Scoppettuolo G, Dolcetti L, Celentano D, Emoli A, Marche B, Musarò A. Clinical experience of a subcutaneously anchored sutureless system for securing central venous catheters. Br J Nurs. 2019 Jan 24;28(2):S4-S14. doi: 10.12968/bjon.2019.28.2.S4. PMID: 30673323. The medical, medical electronic and drug delivery engineers, specialists and chemists at Henkel realise that your product design solution is unique, so your Henkel material solution must be as well. Wearing proper medical protective wear is important to protect medical professionals and patients during medical procedures. Protective face masks, gloves, and gowns help prevent the spread of disease while assuring the integrity of sterile environments. During the corona virus outbreak, facemasks, and protective medical wear were an essential factor in preventing the spread of the virus and highlighted how access to reliable materials for personal protective equipment is vital to keep health care workers and patients safe.

Medical grade adhesives are offered in various technologies; each featuring different curing reactions. Examples of applications that use medical adhesives include surgical instruments, biosensors, catheters, electrodes labelling and implantable devices.

Permabond 4C20 is a rapid-curing, cyanoacrylate medical adhesive ideal for the bonding of disposable medical devices. It is an industrial-grade adhesive, possessing both USP Class VI and ISO 10993 cytotoxicity approvals. This adhesive has been notably used to bond scalpels in high-speed production. Overall, it is a diverse adhesive that is utilised in various medical applications. Permabond 4UV80 Since these factors are not very susceptible to variations by healthcare personnel, we must focus, as always, on prevention (1)(7)(8). LeBlanc K, Whiteley I, McNichol L, Salvadalena G, Gray M. Peristomal Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury: Results of an International Consensus Meeting. J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs. 2019 Mar/Apr;46(2):125-136. doi: 10.1097/WON.0000000000000513. PMID: 30844869; PMCID: PMC6519893. Medical adhesive devices must be selected with care based on the purpose that they must fulfil the type of structure required to minimize tissue damage and each patient’s skin type (4). There are numerous ways of fixing VADs to the skin such as engineered suture-less securement devices. Based on scientific evidence, the use of sutures was discouraged and there are now many similar devices available on the market. Their role is to prevent catheter movement and inadvertent dislodgement. Several types are available, with different flexibility, sizes, prices, and structures. However, in empirical scientific studies, their superiority over sutures has been demonstrated (9)(10)(11). The remaining challenge is to reduce the damage to the skin caused by the medical adhesive they contain. With an increase of in-home patient care, material regulations, and the need for safer, less invasive devices, Henkel’s range of high-quality adhesives and materials for medical devices are engineered to streamline operations and increase product reliability and safety.

Without any doubt, the coronavirus pandemic has put us all in an exceptional situation. At Henkel, we are doing everything in our power to safeguard our employees, support our customers and suppliers, and reduce the spread of the virus. For information on related applications see adhesives used in assembly of PPE & respiratory devices. These factors have a positive or negative influence and are sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to control or modify. They include: If we consider the skin to be a shield, barrier or a protective layer, it is easy to understand why it is essential to maintain good skin integrity to avoid complications.Findings from a multidisciplinary focus group meeting to discuss the issue of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) in the UK: The way forward. Wounds UK. 2017.13. 141-145. Medical devices present manufacturers with a special challenge: As well as being health-compatible, the materials used must allow high-precision production and permanent joining and must withstand various sterilization methods. This applies especially to the adhesives used for assembly. We need to consider these factors to select the right strategy (4). They undoubtedly include the choice of a stabilisation device in terms of both the type of adhesive and the structure that contains it. Skin glue isn't suitable for wounds over joints, like your knees, groin or hands. How long does skin glue stay on? Therefore, to help us to better manage vascular access, this article contains some recommendations to avoid medical adhesive related skin injuries (MARSIs).

Henkel knows that quality and consistency are paramount in the pharmaceutical industry, assuring the delivery systems developer, drug marketer, and the patient that the patch will adhere and deliver the drug as designed. We have the experience, resources and expertise to make your transdermal project a success. Egan GM, Siskin GP, Weinmann R 4th, Galloway MM. A prospective postmarket study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new peripherally inserted central catheter stabilization system. J Infus Nurs. 2013 May-Jun;36(3):181-8. doi: 10.1097/NAN.0b013e3182893690. PMID: 23558917. Surgical & diagnostic medical devices include clamps, retractors, drills, scopes, and suction tips and tubes. In these applications, strict standards have to be met for adhesives to be qualified for use. One main safety consideration is the adhesive’s reaction with water, chemicals and oxygen; with incompatibility of the adhesive and application posing a threat to life. Finding the right adhesive solution for medical applications ensures that these threats are eliminated and user safety is paramount. Top Medical Grade Adhesives Permabond A1042 The demand for medical protective wear has increased exponentially in recent years, as it is an important factor in protecting against infection and the spreading of diseases in healthcare environments. For this reason, factories that manufacture personal hygiene products and nonwovens are adapting their production lines to fulfill the increasing need for material for personal protective equipment. Henkel’s AQUENCE ® and TECHNOMELT ® brands provide the materials necessary to manufacture high-quality medical protective wear such as masks, gowns, and respiratory devices.
