Biesterfeld Expands Medical Adhesives Portfolio with Bostik, Strengthening Polyurethane Solutions for Healthcare Applications

Biesterfeld has expanded its medical adhesives portfolio through an enhanced partnership with Bostik, reinforcing its position in the healthcare materials market with a broader range of advanced adhesive technologies. Effective immediately, the distributor will offer three key medical adhesive product lines from Bostik, providing customers with innovative solutions designed for medical device manufacturing, wound care, wearable healthcare technologies, and skin-contact applications. The collaboration reflects the growing demand for high-performance medical adhesives that meet stringent regulatory and biocompatibility requirements.

A major highlight of the expanded portfolio is the increased availability of polyurethane-based medical adhesives, which are recognized for their exceptional flexibility, durability, skin compatibility, and strong adhesion under challenging conditions. Polyurethane adhesives play a critical role in the production of wearable sensors, diagnostic devices, transdermal drug delivery systems, surgical drapes, and wound care products, where reliable bonding and patient comfort are essential. Their ability to maintain adhesion while allowing flexibility makes them particularly suitable for next-generation medical devices that require prolonged skin contact.

In addition to polyurethane technologies, the expanded portfolio includes advanced acrylic and silicone adhesive solutions, enabling manufacturers to select materials tailored to specific healthcare applications. By combining Bostik's expertise in specialty adhesives with Biesterfeld's technical support and distribution network, the partnership aims to accelerate innovation and improve access to high-performance medical bonding solutions across European healthcare markets.
