Innovation in Medical Adhesives
نویسنده
چکیده
Medical tapes and dressings are commonly used in hospitals to cover wounds and secure dressings or devices on patients’ skin. Repeated application and removal of medical adhesives may result in trauma to skin causing severe patient discomfort as well as expensive interventions. In this paper I will describe a new silicone-based medical adhesive that was designed to be gentle to sensitive skin without sacrificing securement of dressings or light tubing. After an initial introduction into the unique challenges of skin as a substrate, I will discuss the rheological characteristics of this unique adhesive system and the methodology of how gentleness is quantified within clinical research.

متن کاملShear bond strength evaluation of resin composite to resin-modified glass-ionomer cement using three different resin adhesives vs. glass-ionomer based adhesive
Background: The clinical success of sandwich technique depends on the strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) bonding to both dentin and resin composite. Therefore, the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin composite bonded to RMGIC utilizing different resin adhesives versus a GIC-based adhesive was compared. Materials and methods: In this in vitro study, 84 holes (5×2 mm) were pre...
