What is the intended wear time of the device (in days)?
7 - 14 days
For devices designed for multi-week wear time such as glucose monitors, insulin pumps, activity trackers, electrocardiogram monitors and other mobile health and wellness products, it is often recommended to use an acrylic adhesive solution that provides a robust, conformable and breathable adhesive solution.
For devices intended for 7-14 days of wear, selecting adhesives and materials that cater to medium-term wear is crucial for ensuring both device efficacy and user comfort. The adhesives used must provide a robust, continuous bond capable of withstanding daily activities, moisture exposure, and skin oils without peeling or degrading. These materials should also prioritize skin health, being hypoallergenic and breathable to prevent irritation, infections, or skin breakdown over the extended wear period.
It is important that the device remains comfortable and secure, with materials flexible enough to move with the skin while maintaining their integrity. By carefully balancing these factors, wearable devices can deliver sustained performance and support for users, making them suitable for continuous health monitoring, treatment delivery, or activity tracking over a medium-term duration.
