Custom Formulated Hydrocolloids for Catheter Securement

Hydrocolloid adhesives are the ideal choice for catheter securement devices because they:

• Will not irritate skin when applied for a long period of time
• Absorb exudates and sweat
• Are gentle and flexible, yet attach firmly to skin for long periods
• Have strong adhesion yet are easily removable

Hydrocolloid adhesives have the same performance characteristics as aggressive acrylics yet are easily removed without alcohol.

As the only Hydrocolloid manufacturer offering custom formulated hydrocolloids, Amparo can accommodate your catheter securement product’s needs by adjusting any– or all– of the following properties:

• Adhesion
• Absorption
• Thickness of product
• Thickness of product carrier
• Type of product carrier

Amparo custom formulated hydrocolloids roll goods are available in double sided, self-wound, and double linered options. Hydrocolloids for catheter securement devices may be manufactured with a variety of carriers, including, but not limited to, polyurethane.

Amparo will readily deliver hydrocolloid in roll goods, or—through our strategic alliances– as die-cut and packaged catheter securement devices in any size, shape, thickness, style or configuration.

Choosing Amparo means you have made the best choice for your custom formulated hydrocolloids.
