Your restoration session should not end with your device sliding down your pant leg.
When a gripper or retaining cone needs extra help, Adhesi-Med adds a tacky layer that helps keep skin in place. Pair it with the included Citri-Med remover for a practical system that takes you from attachment to cleanup.
Two Products. One More Confident Routine.
- Help prevent frustrating slippage: Add adhesive grip where your device contacts external skin
- Hold through moisture: Adhesi-Med forms a water- and sweat-resistant bond
- Use only a little: A thin coating is all that is needed for most applications
- Apply with control: The brush applicator helps place adhesive where you want it
- Simplify removal and cleanup: Citri-Med helps release adhesive and remove residue from skin and compatible devices
How Adhesi-Med Works
Adhesi-Med is a silicone polymer contact adhesive formulated for external skin attachment. As the coating is exposed to air and the solvent evaporates, it becomes tacky and ready to bond. Typical setting time is under two minutes; allow it to set before bringing skin into contact.
The result is a strong, removable bond that helps support device retention. When it is time to remove your device, work gently and use Citri-Med to help release the adhesive. Do not pull or force removal.
A Little Adhesive Goes a Long Way
Wipe excess adhesive from the brush against the inside of the bottle opening, then apply a very light coating. More adhesive does not necessarily mean better hold; excess can transfer to skin and make cleanup harder.
Made to Complement Your Restoration Setup
Supercanister tuggers: Adhesi-Med can replace the inner piece of tape. Apply a light coating to the attachment end, allow it to set, roll skin onto the device, then secure with the outer tape wrap.
Other restoration devices: Adhesi-Med may provide additional grip on compatible devices such as the DTR, TLC Tugger, Tugboat, CAT-X, and retaining cones. Suitability depends on the device material and design. Check your device manufacturer’s instructions before use.
Simple Application & Removal
- Start with a small-area test. Check your skin’s response before regular use.
- Brush on a thin coat. Apply to the compatible device attachment surface or external shaft skin. Avoid the glans and mucosal tissue.
- Allow the coating to set. Typical setting time is under two minutes. Follow the product label before attaching your device.
- Attach as directed. Position skin and secure your device according to its instructions. Adhesive hold is not a reason to increase weight, tension, or wear time.
- Remove gently. Use a small amount of Citri-Med where needed to help release tape or adhesive. Wipe away residue and wash with soap and water after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reattach my device without applying more adhesive?
One application may allow approximately 3–6 attachments, depending on skin oils, device surface, moisture, and tension. Each reattachment can reduce grip. Reapply when needed rather than relying on a weakened bond.
How long will the hold last?
Hold varies with application thickness, device material, skin conditions, and movement. Follow your device’s wear instructions and take appropriate breaks regardless of how well the adhesive holds.
Will it work with weights or tension?
Adhesi-Med can help improve retention, but higher loads place greater demands on the bond. Stay within your device’s recommended limits and check skin comfort and circulation regularly.
Does Citri-Med remove tape, too?
Yes. Citri-Med is designed for tape and adhesive removal. Apply a small amount to tape when removal is desired, allow it to penetrate, then gently peel away.
How much adhesive is included?
The 1 fl oz (30 mL) brush-on bottle provides economical, light-coat application. Actual yield depends on the coated area and the amount used.

Skin Sensitivity & Device Care
For external use only. Skin sensitivities vary. Test a small area before first use, avoid the glans and mucosal tissue, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Allow the adhesive to set before contact with skin; drying does not guarantee freedom from irritation.
Do not leave silicone-based devices soaking in Citri-Med for prolonged periods, as they may swell. Check material compatibility and wash with soap and water after use.
