Die-Cutting Hydrocolloid Adhesive for Wounds

Fabrico engineers now convert hydrocolloid adhesive materials for short- and long-term wound care, surgical dressings, and ostomy applications. In doing so, Fabrico is helping the medical market meet a growing demand for skin-friendly materials.

Hydrocolloids provide an alternative to traditional wound dressings in stick-to-skin applications. They are popular because of their durability and fluid absorption; they cause little or no skin trauma. Matching the right hydrocolloid adhesive formulation and substrate for medical applications depends on a number of factors: short- or long-term skin contact; resistance to heat, moisture, and pressure; compatibility with sterilization; and fluid resistance. Fabrico can help you identify the important factors when choosing a hydrocolloid adhesive. 

Hydrocolloid adhesives are provided in double- or single-coated tapes, and in roll form. Fabrico offers precision die-cutting, multi-layer laminating, and slitting to tight tolerances to produce the finished product to spec. Fabrico also provides adhesives, plastics, foams, and liners necessary to meet unique application requirements.
