For nearly 50 years, medical device manufacturers around the world have utilized LOCTITE® adhesives for trillions of needles and syringes. These adhesives bond cannulas to hubs in needle assemblies, and they’re essential to avoid leaks.
Flexibly built and designed tubes mean better care for patients and easier administration for healthcare professionals. Robust assembly using LOCTITE® adhesives and secure placement of catheters and IV sets is key for efficient and successful delivery of lifesaving medical treatments.
Reliable, high-performance, and pressure-sensitive adhesive solutions are vital for colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy products. Ostomy care adhesive products are designed to firmly attach to the skin, offering strong protection without irritation.
Medical adhesive gels and foams are ideal for dressing wounds since they’re breathable and highly absorbent, while providing cushioning and a barrier against bacteria. They provide good adhesion, are painless to remove, and protect against irritation.
Henkel has a variety of technologies and expansive portfolio that meet both coating and end use requirements. Our PSAs are safe, high quality medical–grade and leverage a variety of technologies to support customized, tailorable product development.
From nicotine to hormones to pain relief Henkel has over 25 chemistries and 50 unique commercial medical patches available across the globe that offer medical-grade, skin-safe quality and high performance. Henkel’s acrylic adhesives provide desirables solubility and release for a wide range of drugs, skin-friendly and long-wear properties.
Keeping people safe is the primary goal of medical protective wear. Henkel adhesives are a key component, creating the layers or seams that assure safety in masks, respiratory protection, gowns, and surgical drapes.
Also known as instant adhesives, cyanoacrylates exhibit extremely high adhesion properties and high resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents. Easy to dispense, they enable medical device manufacturers to speed up assembly processes without sacrificing safety or reliability.
Enabling a simple, fast bond for high-speed manufacturing for medical applications, hot melt adhesives are approved in over 50 unique commercial patches marketed across the world. Henkel also offers different adhesives for medical tape applications that help meet the challenges in the modern medical field.
Water-based adhesives are used to create a variety of products including medical tapes. We have optimized our technology to allow for excellent skin adhesion and better anchorage to cloth face stocks, while maintaining breathability.
