Polymer Science Releases New Silicone Gel Adhesive Products For MD&M West

Monticello, IN - Polymer Science, Inc. will introduce a new line of silicone gel adhesives at MD&M West (booth 1646) from February 10-12 in Anaheim, California. To meet the demands of the medical market for innovative skin contact applications, Polymer Science has developed three new silicone gel adhesives for use in wound dressings, medical devices, hypertrophic scar therapies, and cosmeceutical patches. PS-1154, PS-1155, and PS-1156 offer the following unique combination of attributes:

• Great attachment to the many contours of the body
• Gentle release from even the most fragile skin
• Longer wear time than any other silicone adhesive
• Hypoallergenic and moisture-resistant properties

"Silicone gel adhesives are the future of advanced wound care," said Bill Witchger, CEO of Marian, Inc., the parent company of Polymer Science. "They offer a superior alternative to acrylic adhesives and will make a real difference in neonatal and geriatric care."

In addition to PS-1154, PS-1155, and PS-1156, Polymer Science also offers customized silicone gels that can be coated as continuous or discontinuous configurations on a variety of substrates and backings.
