Zusammenfassung:A hypoallergenic adhesive article employing a switchable pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition comprising one or more amphiphilic polyesters in physical mixture with a humectant. When contacted with a liquid of low-ion content, the adhesive undergoes a reduction in peel strength, which allows for easy removal, but remains strongly adhered when contacted with ionic liquids, such as blood, sweat, and other bodily fluids. The adhesive composition can be employed in a variety of medical articles or in other similar applications.
