Abstract
A method for adhering a first substrate to a second substrate using a double sided adhesive device based on silicone gels. The method is particularly useful for adhering a medical prosthesis to a human or animal body.
Claims7
In a method for adhering a prosthesis to a human or animal body with an adhesive device, the improvement comprising the use of an adhesive device comprising:
- a carrier sheet, said carrier sheet having at least two surfaces;
- on one surface of the carrier sheet is a first, continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2;
- said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the prosthesis;
- and
- on a second surface of the carrier sheet is a second continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 μm2, said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the human or animal body;
- and wherein the first and second continuous layers of silicone gel are formed by the reaction of a silicone having Si-H groups with a silicone having Si-aliphatically unsaturated groups in the presence of a platinum or rhodium catalyst.

A prosthesis having an adhesive device for adhering it to a human or animal body comprising:
- a prosthesis having a surface to be adhered to a human or animal body;
- and
- on the surface of the prosthesis to be adhered to the human or animal body, an adhesive device comprising:
- a carrier sheet, said carrier sheet having at least two surfaces;
- on one surface of the carrier sheet is a first, continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2;
- said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the prosthesis;
- and
- on a second surface of the carrier sheet is a second continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2, said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the human or animal body,
- wherein the first continuous layer of silicone gel of the adhesive device is adhered to the surface of the prosthesis to be adhered to a human or animal body;
- and wherein the first and second continuous layers of silicone gel are formed by the reaction of a silicone having Si-H groups with a silicone having Si-aliphatically unsaturated groups in the presence of a platinum or rhodium catalyst.
7 more elements
A method for adhering a prosthesis to a human or an animal body comprising:
- positioning an adhesive device between the prosthesis and the human or animal body;
- and
- compressing the adhesive device between the prosthesis and the human or animal body, wherein the adhesive device comprises:
- a carrier sheet, said carrier sheet having at least two surfaces;
- on one surface of the carrier sheet is a first, continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2;
- said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the prosthesis;
- and
- on a second surface of the carrier sheet is a second continuous layer of a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2, said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the human or animal body;
- and wherein the first and second continuous layers of silicone gel are formed by the reaction of a silicone having Si-H groups with a silicone having Si-aliphatically unsaturated groups in the presence of a platinum or rhodium catalyst.
