DuPont today introduced its new DuPontâ„¢ Liveoâ„¢ 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.
DuPontâ„¢ Liveoâ„¢ has been a globally recognized leader in silicone technology for medical devices, setting the critical quality attributes of silicone skin adhesives. These technologies have become widely adopted by the market in advanced wound care and scar therapies, and now DuPont is complementing its historical range with this new SSA solution.
New DuPontâ„¢ Liveoâ„¢ MG 7-9960 Soft Skin Adhesive has the highest peel adhesion in the Liveoâ„¢ SSA family. It offers better conformability, atraumatic removal, high repositionability, improved wear performance and design flexibility.
In addition, low-cyclics Liveoâ„¢ 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.
