Swiss roll adhesives

Two different adhesives rolled together in a unique
spiral structure:
One adhesive provides security, and the other adhesive
provides skin friendliness.
The alternating adhesives ensure that neither adhesive
has uninterrupted contact with the skin = a more skin
friendly solution

Page 4

The two adhesives

Polymer part
Provides adhesion and cohesion,
i.e. security for prolonged wear time

Hydrocolloid part
Provides absorption
keeps the skin dry and as
normal as possible
