Wacker, the Munich-based chemical group, presented a new high-tack silicone adhesive gel developed expressly for medical applications at the 25th Conference of the European Wound Management Association (EWMA), which was held in London, UK, from May 13 to 15, 2015.
Marketed under the trade name Silpuran 2117, the adhesive gel is especially well-suited for skin-friendly adhesive applications such as those found in advanced wound care. Dressings using the high purity silicone adhesive gel remain reliable and durable, yet stay soft and flexible, thus enabling atraumatic dressing changes, Wacker said in a media statement.Wacker, the Munich-based chemical group, presented a new high-tack silicone adhesive gel developed expressly for medical applications at the #
Silpuran 2117 was uniquely developed and formulated by Wacker to provide advantageous properties such as enhanced tack in direct skin applications and where hypo-allergenic skin adhesion is a crucial requirement. Dressings made using the soft silicone gel are breathable due to high vapour permeability of the silicone, protect the wound site from bacteria, are waterproof, and help promote an optimized healing environment. The gentle properties of the adhesive gel enable easy removal without causing damage or pain to the surrounding skin area.
Excellent tack makes Silpuran 2117 the preferred choice for direct skin adhesive wound care and prosthetic medical device applications while at the same time exhibiting the benefits associated with typical silicone properties. It is chemically inert, heat-resistant and remains flexible at temperature extremes ranging from -50 to +200 °C. Free from organic plasticizers and stabilizers, this two-part A/B component adhesive has passed selected tests for bio-compatibility according to ISO 10993 and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Class VI.
