Global Safety First, LLC. NIOSH Approval# TC-84A-8133

Description
Avery Dennison Medical has partnered with Global Safety First (GSF) to help bring an innovative mask technology to the healthcare market. The NIOSH-Certified Strapless N95 face masks use a special air-purifying filter media and a hypoallergenic medical adhesive at the perimeter of the mask to filter more than 95% of particles. The mask utilizes a strapless innovative design that provides a complete perimeter seal with security and protection.

NIOSH-Certified Strapless N95 face masks offer: 

• Security and Protection: Forms an air-tight seal while allowing filtration during inhalation and exhalation
• Innovative Design: Self-adhesive material eliminates tight elastic straps and ties that put pressure on the face or get caught in hair
• Breathability: Made with electrostatic particle filtration properties that make the masks more breathable
• Gentle Comfort: Skin-friendly adhesive that adheres gently to the face

Features:

• Medical grade materials and adhesive
• NIOSH N95 Certified
• Meets ASTM F2101 Bacterial and Virus Filtration Efficiency
• Meets ASTM F1862 for Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance
• Meets ASTM F2299 for Latex Particle Challenge

• Aerosols
• Pollution
• Smoke particles
• Hazardous particles

The skin is home to trillions of bacteria, which are mostly harmless until introduced inside the body where they can cause infection.  Scientists at Avery Dennison Medical have developed the BeneHold™ CHG antimicrobial adhesive to help with this problem. Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) was chosen because it is a well-documented broad-spectrum antiseptic already widely used in many medical products to minimize microbial growth, including coated central venous catheters, skin antiseptics and IV site dressings.

BeneHold™ CHG adhesive technology by Avery Dennison Medical delivers the functionality of this antimicrobial agent in a thin acrylic adhesive layer that can be customized for various applications and performance requirements. We focus on adding antimicrobial properties to the primary skin contact layer; therefore eliminating the need for an additional component that holds and delivers the antimicrobial agent. In addition, BeneHold™ CHG adhesive technology when coupled with a transparent carrier film allows the contact layer to remain transparent and thin, making it easy to observe the site without disturbing it and offering added comfort. This novel adhesive technology is the subject of  several granted patents globally and a number of pending applications. 

Features and Benefits
BeneHold™ CHG adhesive technology is a unique proprietary acrylic-based adhesive with the following important properties:

1. In vitro testing demonstrated that BeneHold™ CHG has an antimicrobial effect against a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and yeast.1
2. The absorptive properties of BeneHold™ CHG manage fluids such as blood, perspiration and other exudates providing a moist environment ideal for wound healing.
3. When BeneHold™ CHG is applied to a breathable carrier,  absorbed fluid is released through the film by vapor exchange for additional fluid handling capacity.
4. The BeneHold™ CHG adhesive remains transparent throughout use and when coupled with a transparent carrier film it allows for continuous visual monitoring of site conditions.
5. The CHG adhesive has been found to be non-cytotoxic and safe to use.

How does CHG work?
CHG (Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is highly soluble; and in physiologic conditions it readily dissociates to release catonic chlorhexidine molecules into solution. 

CHG molecules, that are positively charged, strongly bind to negatively charged bacterial cell walls. This damages the bacteria’s surface structure leading to an osmotic imbalance. The consequent precipitation of cytoplasm causes cell death.2

Introducing a repositionable skin-contact adhesive with unique 24-hour “soft release” technology

Enhanced comfort, wearability, and repositionability during the first 24 hours of wear without sacrificing adhesion—from a leader in materials science.

Avery Dennison Medical has taken two opposing forces, strength and gentleness, and combined them into a new acrylic adhesive technology that redefines the parameters of adhesion. The Gentle PSA was created for skin-contact applications that require flexibility and a gentler “soft release” at the onset of use without sacrificing static sheer. This unique performance mechanism—the ability to remove, reposition and replace—remains active for 24 hours. This opens the door to the development of a wide range of product-differentiating innovations.

Gentle PSA technology features and benefits

• Delivers “soft release” from skin during first 24 hours of contact
• Allows atraumatic repositioning or temporary removal
• Static shear, MVTR and liner release of normal acrylic adhesive
• EtO and gamma sterilizable
• Adhesive can be coated on a wide array of carriers and designs
• 2-year shelf-life when stored in original packaging at 23° C/73 F°, 50% relative humidity, out of sunlight

Barrier film is a sterile polymeric solution that forms an even film when applied to the skin using spray, swab (foam applicator) or wipe. The product is dispersed in a non-stinging solvent that dries rapidly to form a film that is colorless, transparent and shows good permeability for oxygen and water vapor. Barrier film helps protect intact or damaged skin from irritation that may arise from urinary and/or fecal incontinence, digestive juices, fluid draining from wounds, adhesives and frictional forces.  

Typical Application
Designed to protect intact or damaged skin from bodily fluids, adhesives and friction in the areas of peristomal and periwound skin protection, incontinence skin care and adhesive trauma prevention.

Features and Benefits

• Sting-free, alcohol-free liquid
• Non cytotoxic
• Provides protection from tape trauma
• Waterproof
• Ideal for everyday use
• Excellent breathability
