What is a straw adhesive?

Straw adhesive is usually used for dressing and post-operative care of wounds. Therefore, this type of adhesive is produced with special features. Straw adhesives are produced from polyurethane and synthetic polyester materials that are lint-free and hypoallergenic. This type of adhesive is a thin and flexible layer just like fabric, which, despite being lint-free, has many small pores. These open pores are made to allow air, moisture, and steam to pass through the adhesive layer, thus preventing skin sensitivity and leaving no scars, and keeping the skin in the wound area dry and clean. In addition, straw adhesive is made elastic and flexible so that the patient can move freely and easily and his/her function is not limited.

Since in many cases, imaging of the operated organ is required after surgery, these adhesives, which are used as dressing holders, do not create an obstacle to the passage of radiation from imaging and radiology devices, and the doctor can easily identify the position of the operated organ.

The type of covering of the straw adhesive is made of non-woven fibers, which ensures that the sensitive skin of the wound or operated part of the body is not irritated and does not leave any marks on it. Also, this flexible and soft adhesive can be easily used in parts of the body that do not have a smooth surface and are uneven. After use, the straw adhesive can be easily removed without causing excessive adhesion, pain, and stretching of the skin, and after removing the adhesive, no excess or sticky material remains on the skin.
