Uro-Bond III Adhesive For Skin

Securing Male External Catheters:

• The most effective way to secure a male external catheter is to use Uro-Bond brush-on silicone skin adhesive.
• It is recommended that a male external catheter is changed once a day to promote healthy skin.
• With the use of Uro-Bond a male external catheter can be held in place for up to three days.

Securing Prosthetics, Tracheostomy Devices, Toupes:

• Application of prosthetics and devices to the skin can be tricky and may require some practice before the exact method that works best for user is determined.
• It is recommended that Uro-Bond medical adhesive be applied to both surfaces and allowed to become tackey before adhering the two surfaces together.
• This will ensure the maximum hold and a comfortable fit.
• Note: It is the responsibility of user to independently determine the safety, toxicity, suitability and acceptability of the product performance in a specific application for his/her own use.

Instructions For Use:

• Since Uro-Bond III adhesive for skin is supplied as an 50% silicone solids solution in a ethyl acetate solution, it is normally used as supplied.
• It is applied with the brush attached to the underside of the cap.
• To obtain the maximum adhesion capability of Uro-Bond III skin safe glue, surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned prior to application and allowed to dry thoroughly before contact is made.
• The adhesive should be applied liberally to both surfaces which are to be adhered; additional coats of adhesive may increase adhesion.

Removal Instructions:

• To remove Uro-Bond III from the body surface, use Urocare Adhesive Remover Pads or another medical tape and adhesive remover.
• Do not use Uro-Bond Thinner as an adhesive remover; it is strictly intended for use as a thinning agent only!
• To remove Uro-Bond III adhesive thinner from surfaces other than the body surface (skin), use one of the following removers or solvents: isopropylalcohol (rubbing alcohol), ethyl alcohol, toluene, xylene, hexane or ethyl acetate; however, it should be noted that these removers or solvents may cause skin irritation and are highly flammable. They may also deteriorate certain surfaces, for example: certain types of plastics, and should be used accordingly.
• It is the responsibility of purchaser to thoroughly test the use of any remover or solvent to determine suitability of use.
• Liberally apply the appropriate remover to a cloth or gauze pad and wipe the surface clean.
