DuPont launches DuPont™ Liveo™ MG 7-9960 Soft Skin Adhesive. The higher-adhesion, low-cyclics silicone soft skin adhesive (SSA) is designed for advanced wound care dressings and adhering medical devices to the skin for long wear time and gentle removal.
DuPont™ Liveo™ silicone skin adhesives technologies have become widely adopted by the market in advanced wound care and scar therapies, and now DuPont is complementing its range with this new SSA solution.
Offers Improved Wear Performance and Design Flexibility
New DuPont™ Liveo™ MG 7-9960 Soft Skin Adhesive has the highest peel adhesion in the Liveo™ SSA family. It offers better conformability, atraumatic removal, high repositionability, improved wear performance and design flexibility. In addition, low-cyclics Liveo™ MG 7-9960 SSA is non-sensitizing, non-irritating and non-cytotoxic, making it ideally suited to protect the highly sensitive and fragile skin of populations including children, the elderly, and patients with skin conditions or open wounds.
The adhesive was developed as DuPont works to expand its portfolio of solutions to support the growing medical device market. It also allows manufacturers to fine-tune performance by varying coat weight to meet device designers’ applications requirements.
“
As difficult-to-heal wounds are increasingly prevailing and wound-healing rates need to improve, we are looking at expanding our portfolio of medical-grade adhesive solutions and partnering with medical device OEMs and converters to support them in developing their new dressing or wearables designs,” said DuPont™ Liveo™ healthcare solutions global strategic marketing Leader Jennifer Gemo, one of the webinar presenters.
Because each device design and process “
is specific to each customer, it is critical to not only supply high-quality, high-performance materials, but also to support customers in optimizing their development,” said DuPont™ Liveo™ Healthcare Solutions EMEA Technical Service and Development Professional and Medical Device Expert Audrey Wipret.
