The method according to claim 1, wherein the oxidative process is a corona treatment. 12. An external urinary catheter having a silicone material of construction, comprising: a body having a first open end and a second closed end. the body defining an inner surface, an outer surface, and a length. between the first and second ends, the inner surface including. at least an annular inner band of oxidized silicone extending along less than the entire length of the body and the outer surface including an outermost annular band of non-oxidized silicone that covers at least the annular inner band; anda pressure sensitive skin adhesive disposed on the annular inner band of oxidized silicone and configured as a rolled layer of the adhesive material transferred from an adhesive-coated mandrel. 13. A silicone urisheath having an outer surface and an inner surface, the silicone urisheath comprising: an annular inner band of oxidized silicone forming the inner surface of the urisheath;an outermost annular band of non-oxidized silicone that forms the outer surface of the silicone urisheath; anda pressure sensitive skin adhesive that is (i) disposed on the annular inner band of oxidized silicone and (ii) configured as a rolled layer of the adhesive transferred from an adhesive-coated mandrel. 14. The silicone urisheath according to claim 13, wherein the oxidative process is selected from the group consisting of oxidative-heat treatment, UV light, E-beam, gamma-irradiation, and chemical oxidative treatment. 15. The silicone urisheath according to claim 14, wherein the oxidative-heat treatment is selected from the group consisting of corona treatment, plasma treatment, and flame treatment. 16.
