Silopren™ Gels – Silicone Soft Skin Adhesives (SSAs)

Silopren™ Gels are solventless, two-component silicone soft skin adhesive gels designed to deliver gentle, reliable adhesion for wound care and adjacent medical applications. These materials support atraumatic removal, repositionability, and compatibility with common wound dressing substrates, helping manufacturers meet both performance and processing requirements. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Silicone Solutions for Wound Care

A soft skin adhesive (SSA) is a type of medical adhesive designed to adhere securely to skin while allowing gentle, atraumatic removal. Silicone-based SSAs are commonly used in wound care dressings to help minimize skin trauma during dressing changes.

Silicone adhesives are valued in wound care for their biocompatibility, gentle adhesion, and ability to maintain adhesion over multiple repositionings. These properties make them suitable for fragile or sensitive skin applications.

Silicone gel adhesives are used across advanced and classic wound care, including foam dressings, NPWT drapes, post-operative dressings, fixation tapes, scar sheets, and wearable wound monitoring devices.

Silicone SSAs bond gently to the skin surface rather than aggressively penetrating it. This allows dressings to be removed with reduced pain and skin disruption compared to more aggressive adhesive chemistries.

Yes. Silopren™ silicone gels are designed to maintain adhesion performance even after repositioning, which is beneficial during dressing placement and adjustments.

Silicone soft skin adhesive gels are available as solventless, addition-cure systems that can help simplify processing, support consistent coating, and improve production efficiency for wound care manufacturers.

Silicone gel adhesives are compatible with a variety of substrates commonly used in wound care, including polyurethane films, nonwovens, and perforated films, supporting flexible product design.
