  • Bioadhesives in Medical Devices, Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Packaging

    Bioadhesives, like medical pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) and medical tapes, continue to play an increasingly critical role in the manufacturing and function of medical devices, drug delivery systems and pharmaceutical packaging. Medical PSAs require biocompatibility for dermal and mucosal contact applications such as drug delivery patches where the medicine is held within the adhesive until the patch is applied to a patient and the drug is absorbed through skin. Advanced wound care dressings, EKG pads, diagnostic test strips, surgical incision films and IV holders all rely on biocompatible, medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesives.
