(57) [Summary]nThe present invention provides a composition which is a conventional pressure-sensitive adhesive at ambient temperature and is a fluid, especially a bodily fluid absorbent, comprising 0.1 to 65% by weight of a cyclodextrin material.nThe composition is used for various uses in the medical field. The addition of cyclodextrins with a lower limit of 0.1 to 10% by weight can impart to the adhesive odor-absorbing properties useful in consumer and medical products. Small amounts of other active ingredients, such as antimicrobial ingredients, active drug ingredients, fragrances and the like, can be advantageously complexed with the cyclodextrin molecule. The above compositions are useful, for example, as antimicrobial adhesives or adhesives that bleach the skin, prevent or reduce skin breakouts due to acne, or provide a cool or warm sensation to the skin. Increasing the cyclodextrin, alone or in combination with other absorbent fillers, up to 65% by weight of the composition, as a protective adhesive for patients undergoing plastic surgery, such as ostomy, and It was found to be particularly useful as a dressing for wounds and the like, and as a body fluid absorbing adhesive having odor absorbing properties. The above adhesive is particularly useful as an adhesive for an artificial anus or the like. |
