Manufacturing reliable components for your stoma patients
An in-depth understanding of the requirements to improve quality of life for stoma care patients.
Components for continence and ostomy devices
Global manufacturers of ostomy and continence devices rely on PolarSeal to provide a host of complex, multi-layer components used in the manufacture of their products.
We understand that product reliability and cost-effective solutions are vital in this competitive market, as well as the need for ongoing technical support for new product development to improve the quality of life for stoma care patients.

Adhesive solutions
The need for skin-friendly adhesives is nowhere more important than in this field. Reliability during use is essential, and low skin trauma during removal equally important due to the often long-term usage of these products.
For other non-skin contact components, we have developed specialist and technologically advanced high tack adhesives for attachment to low surface energy films typically used in these devices.
