Growing Demand For Healthcare Adhesives

Healthcare adhesives are widely used in medical devices, wound care, surgical bonding, biosensors and other fields, mainly including the following categories:

1. Medical Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA)

Main Uses: used for medical tapes, band-aids, electrode patches, plasters, etc.

Common Types:

• Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (good air permeability, suitbale for skin)
• Silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive (hypoallergenic, suitbale for sensitive skin)
• Rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive (strong adhesion, but low air permeability)

2. Dental Adhesive

Main Uses: for dental restoration, denture fixation, and bonding of filling materials.

Common Types:

• Resin-based adhesive (such as composite resin cements)
• Glass ionomer adhesive (for tooth fillings)
• Zinc oxide-clove oil adhesive (temporary dental restorations)

3. Medical Device Assembly Adhesive

Main Uses: used for bonding and sealing of medical devices (such as catheters, syringes, heart stents).

Common Types:

• UV curing adhesive (fast curing, suitable for small medical devices)
• Epoxy resin adhesive (high strength, chemical corrosion resistance)
• Silicone glue (good flexibility, suitable fo elastic materials)

4. Biosensor Adhesive

Main Uses: for wearable medical devices, electrode patches, blood glucose monitors, etc.

Common Types:

• Hydrogel adhesive (soft, breathable, suitable for skin contact)
• Conductive adhesive (for ECG/EEG electrodes)

These medical adhesives are biocompatible, low irritation, moisture resistant and have good adhesion, making them indispensable materials in the modern medical industry.
