Hydrolytic stability of polyurethane medical adhesive dressings.

The present study deals with the effect of the type and chemical character of incorporated polyester (polyether blocks) on the hydrolytic stability of different types of polyurethane medical adhesive dressings. Diffusion parameters of the investigated polyurethane adhesives, giving information concerning the chemical changes taking place in water or physiological solution, have also been determined.

Adhesives

Biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethane polymers.

This study deals with the opportunities for the synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethane adhesives which are suitable for application as wound dressings. Three different synthetic possibilities have been investigated. The relationships between some reaction factors and the final properties of the obtained products are pointed out. The toxicity of the investigated urethane acrylates, polyurethanes and combined polyurethane adhesives is also studied.
