Dear ListServe members,
My question is about the type of adhesives that are being used out in the field.
Our practice requires us to attend many different clinic settings throughout the community. Frequently our work space is an unused patient room, utility area or, in some cases, a storeroom. None of these areas have as adequate a ventilation system as in our home office. As you can imagine, the vapors given off by the adhesive we use to glue various forms to polypro can be somewhat overpowering to us and others. Primarily we are using Poly-Adhesive purchased from Cascade Orthopedic Supply.
Questions: What adhesive are you using that are less polluting in a small working environment? If they are better are they as effective in regards to drying time, stability, etc.? In the past we've used adhesive film but we've found that the pads can migrate when used in an area of shear.
I'll post responses. I'll withhold your name if you wish.
