MED 5734
Double-Coated Nonwoven with Gentle Adhesive
MED 5734 is a double-coated, white nylon nonwoven with a gentle acrylic adhesive designed to adhere to the skin, with the acrylic side adhesive with good initial tack and adhesion that is suitable for a wide variety of materials. The softness, conformability, and the repositionability of the adhesive offers a high degree of user comfort.
Typical Application
MED 5734 was created for skin-contact applications that require flexibility and a gentler “soft” release at the onset of use without sacrificing static sheer. This unique performance mechanism—the ability to remove, reposition and replace—remains active for 48 hours before reverting to traditional acrylic adhesion.
Features and Benefits
- Delivers “soft” release from skin during first 48 hours of contact
- Allows atraumatic repositioning or temporary removal
- Static shear and liner release of normal acrylic adhesive
- Acrylic adhesive can be applied to a wide variety of materials
- Sterilization compatibility with Ethylene Oxide (EtO) and Gamma Irradiation
