Stick to Skin Wearable Device Tape

When designing stick to skin wearable devices, it is important to consider the balance between a weight bearing adhesive that will hold the device and avoiding excessive skin irritation and discomfort to the patient. Clean and gentle removal of the device is also an important consideration in both long and short-term wear. These challenges can be approached with advanced skin friendly materials such as gentle and breathable silicone adhesive products. Optically clear products allow for the application site to be monitored without removing the device and can be used where light sensing is required.

‘2 in 1’ materials which have an aggressive adhesive for bonding to the device on one side and a gentler adhesive for the skin on the other are often ideal for device attachment applications. The skin friendly adhesives available as standard on ‘2 in 1’ tapes range from gentle silicone adhesives to acrylic adhesives with varying adhesion levels to suit most requirements.
