Sticky situation: new study tests which prosthetic glue leaves the least mess on skin
NCT ID NCT07647458
First seen Jun 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Summary
This study tested five different adhesives used to attach facial prosthetics (like silicone ears or noses) to see how much glue residue remains on the skin after removal. Five healthy volunteers wore silicone strips on their forearms for 8 hours. Researchers weighed the strips before and after removal to measure leftover adhesive. The goal is to help doctors pick adhesives that are gentler on skin and easier to clean off.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
maxillofacial prosthetic adhesives (silicone-based and water-based)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help clinicians choose adhesives that cause less skin irritation and are easier to clean, improving comfort for people who wear facial prosthetics.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 5 healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to all patients or real-world conditions. It measures residue on forearms, not on the face, which may behave differently.
