Cross-linked, hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive compositions, (meth)acrylate-functional polar polymers which serve as precursors to them, and medical products using such adhesives are disclosed. The cross-linked polymer is prepared by free-radically cross-linking reactive polymers that are functionalized with pendant polymerizable moieties. Medical products that include such compositions are biomedical electrodes, pharmaceutical delivery devices, and medical skin coverings such as wound dressings. |
