advanced wound care technologies

AR offers a full range of custom adhesive technologies

coated onto carefully selected substrates best suited for

addressing the specialized needs of skin contact and advancewound care dressing applications. ARs release liner

technologies, tailored to the precise release values required fo

your product, are a key component for improving

ease-of-dressing applications in any patient care setting.

Taking your products furtherAdhesives Research (AR) has been

developing and manufacturing custom adhesive

and coating technologies for the medical

industry for more than 25 years. We offer our

partners complete material solutions through

polymer synthesis, formulation, coating and

laminating. Our enabling technologies deliver

heightened performance and novel capabilities

to advanced wound care product designs.

We manage a robust, documented product

development process to assure that we meet

your exact application requirements. The

foundation of ARs quality system is based on

our ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003

certifications.

low-trauma adhesives

ARs non-silicone, low-trauma PSA technology

mimics the gentle properties of silicone adhesive

platforms with the added benefit of offering

aggressive, intimate skin contact with virtually

painless and residue-free removal.

long-term wear adhesives

Designed for long-term wear applications

up to seven days, our aggressive, tailorable

acrylic adhesive technology offers high

moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) for

breathability, excellent wear properties with

minimal edge lift, and no residue.

porous

ARs porous technology offers a low-density, highly permeable

adhesive layer. The adhesives pores form stable, non-collapsing

channels to enable the flow of fluids and/or gases in the Z-axisdirection. This customizable technology demonstrates MVTR up

to 9,000 g/m2/day to enable long-term wear applications.

dissolvable films

Our dissolvable film technology provides an

efficient medium for stabilizing sensitive reagents,delivering therapeutic agents or dispersing pigments.

Dissolution rates are completely customizable to enable each

pre-measured film strip to deliver a specified release over time.
