  • Patent number: 6337086
    Abstract: A transdermal drug delivery device for the controlled transdermal delivery of an active pharmaceutical agent. The device comprises a drug delivery device comprising an active pharmaceutical agent and a means for its controlled delivery through the skin; and (B) a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive for maintaining contact between the device and the skin of a wearer. The silicone pressure sensitive adhesive comprises silicone resin copolymer and a polydiorganosiloxane and has a silanol concentration in the range of between about 8000 and about 13,000 ppm. The present invention also relates to methods for producing the above silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions.

  • Patent number: 5658975
    Abstract: The instant invention pertains to a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition wherein the composition is comprised of a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive selected from the group consisting of a mixture of (i) a silicone resin and (ii) a silicone fluid and a condensed product of (i) and (ii); the silicone pressure sensitive adhesive exhibiting tackiness and adhesiveness; the silicone pressure sensitive adhesive being blended with (iii) from about 1 to 20 weight percent, based on the total weight of (i) and (ii), of a siloxylated polyether wax. The instant invention also encompasses method of using the composition, methods of making hot-melt silicone pressure sensitive adhesive-coated substrates, and devices made using the composition.
