Polychem Hydrogel is electrically conductive and contains synthetic hydrophilic polymers that can retain large amounts of water within their three-dimensional networks. It was developed using state-of-the-art photo-curable technologies, which significantly increase production efficiency, and is one of the most conductive hydrogels available in the market. It meets the ISO 10993-5 standard and is approved by SGS for no cytotoxic effect (Grade 0) and no skin irritation (Grade 0). In addition, it contains NO latex, which may cause an allergy, and is very safe to use on the skin. Applications of this particular Polychem hydrogel include medical and industrial areas, such as EKG electrodes, biosensors, wound dressings, transdermal drug delivery, and emerging wearable electronics.Biocompatibility & Safety
