Gelatine free
Products without compromises
In our gelatine free range we use a hydrocolloid skin protection without gelatine or other animal components, which is particularly kind to the skin.
What is gelatine?
Gelatine is a pure, natural protein obtained from raw collagen, a safe by-product of the meat industry. Specifically, gelatine consists mostly of collagen, minerals and water.
Due to its unique gelling and thickening properties, gelatine is not only used by food manufacturers, although it is also used in the medical supply industry. However, there is a growing demand for gelatine free pharmaceutical products.
Why choose gelatine-free products?
Although gelatine is a widely used and proven ingredient in the medical device industry, there is a high demand for gelatine-free alternatives - whether due to personal preference, religious beliefs, wish for alternatives or allergies.
Our gelatine-free products are not only an optimal solution for these individual requirements, but also have a number of additional advantages.
Benefits of our gelatine-free products
In addition to the unique properties of our gelatine-free range, all products individually have outstanding benefits:
- Large Adhesive Area: Even when cut to its maximum of 60 mm, there is still enough adhesive to ensure a safe and secure stick
- Large Visible Release Tab: Offering ease of removal
- Scale on the backing film for exactly cutting the baseplate to size
- Soft non-woven cover on both sides
- Available for one-piece colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy pouches
