Pros Aide (Water Based) Adhesive
This adhesive was developed for facial prostheses. It is
to be applied and allowed to air day until adhesive turns from its natural milk
color to a transparent color. It takes about five minutes for this process to
occur. This material will roll off the prosthesis. Afterwards be sure to clean
with soap and water. (Contains a honeysuckle scent and some patients may have
skin reaction due to added scent.)
| Order # | - B-204 2 oz. $9.95 |
Daro or Epithane 3 (Water Based) Adhesive
These adhesives were both developed for facial prosthetics.
They are similar to Pros Aide, but both Daro Products are superior because neither
contains any perfumed fragrances. Both products are a little more expensive
than Pros Aide. In terms of value, however, Daro will most likely cost less
because it does not take as much Daro to adhere your prosthesis. A little goes
a long way. The ES (Extra Strength) has less water and has demonstrated more
holding power with many patients.
| Order # | - B-200 R (regular) 2 oz. $15.50
or $14/carton of 6 - B-200 ES (extra strength) 2 oz. $16.50 or $15/carton of 6 |
Daro Hydro Bond
This is the strongest Daro product to date. Has least amount
of water and most solids.
| Order # | - # B-230 2 oz. $17.75 |
Secure Adhesive (Silicone Base) Solvent: Ethyl Acetate)
Since most prostheses are made of silicone, Secure Adhesive
was specifically designed as a silicone adhesive. Therefore, use this adhesive
sparingly. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the margins of your prosthesis.
Allow to air dry for three to five minutes. Apply to your skin with firm, even
pressure. To remove the adhesive from your prosthesis, a solvent is required.
We recommend that you try to use the Lan-O-Solve(B-301) first. This will be
sufficient in most applications. If this does not remove the adhesive from your
prosthesis completely, then use the Medical Adhesive Solvent (B-508).
| Order # | - B-400 Thin 1 oz. $15.95 - B-401 Thin 2 oz. $25.95 |
Secure Extra Strength
Same as Secure but with less solvent and more solids.
| Order # | - B-460 Thin 1 oz. $17.95 - B-461 Thin 2 oz. $28.00 |

Helpful Hints:
When extra adhesion is needed, layer the adhesive as follows:
1. Apply one layer of Pros Aide (or Daro) to prosthesis and let dry until clear.
2. Apply second layer of Pros Aide (or Daro) to prosthesis and let dry until
clear.
3. Apply a layer of Secure to prosthesis and let dry for approximately 3 minutes.
4. Apply prosthesis in place on skin.
When removing the prosthesis, clean only what is dirty and leave the remaining layer. Only remove all the adhesive layers after 2-4 days of accumulation. It will then roll off like rubber cement. To apply new adhesive repeat the gluing process (see” helpful hints”).
