Wound Dressings

Wound dressings encompass materials used for the covering and protection of a wound. This may include the use of a sterile pad in applications such as island or other surgical dressings meant to absorb, exudate, repel bacteria, and prevent infection. Applications also include securing an IV or catheter to the patient’s skin.

Henkel is providing a full range of medical-grade adhesives for skin application. This includes medical grade hotmelts, water-based, solvent acrylic as well as UV acrylic adhesives for skin contact. These products offer excellent adhesion while being gentle to the skin, secure anchorage to different carriers used in medical applications, and good breathability.

Ostomy Care

An ostomy refers to the surgically created opening in the body for the discharge of body waste. Ostomy care adhesive products are coated constructions designed to firmly attach to the skin creating a lasting and strong barrier for the ostomy prosthetic device.

Common applications include care products for colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy conditions. As your experienced partner, Henkel is offering reliable and high-performance pressure sensitive adhesive solutions for ostomy care.
