Single-Coated Foam

MED 5696R is a single-coated, white, soft, conformable, polyethylene foam with our patented, moisture resistant WetStick™ adhesive. This product’s unique adhesive is designed to provide high tack and a high level of adhesion to the skin, even when exposed to moisture during prolonged procedures and for ease of removal from the patient’s skin. The heavy-duty liner is ideal for kiss cutting, die cutting and converting.


Typical Application
