Wearable devices comprise several components, including plastic casings, batteries and sensors. There is a need for construction layer materials to hold all those components together, plus a skin-layer material to attach the device to the patient’s body.

These variables affect device design and construction, so early collaboration between supply chain partners is best.
Our wearables product portfolio includes four groups of skin-friendly pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, designed and developed to meet a variety of device and user requirements;
