Abstract:
1. A method of applying a pressure sensitive skin adhesive material to a cured, external urinary silicone catheter comprising: (a) providing a cured, external urinary silicone catheter having an inner surface and an outer surface; (b) selectively applying an oxidative process to only the inner surface of the silicone catheter along an annular inner band of the silicone catheter to provide an annular inner band of oxidized silicone; and (c) applying the pressure sensitive skin adhesive material to a surface of the annular inner band of oxidized silicone by (i) rolling the catheter over a mandrel coated with the adhesive material and (ii) unrolling the catheter from the mandrel, so as to transfer the adhesive material from the mandrel to the annular inner band.
