You have a great design. Now you must attach it to human skin. While that may seem like a straightforward process, it’s often not. Factors such as ergonomic requirements, target patient population characteristics, and skin allergens are just a few of the considerations designers need to take into account when selecting the right adhesive material. It’s an important decision, as a wrong choice could result in re-engineering delays.
We carry several 3M Medical Tapes. 3M just launched 4576 which we don’t currently have access to it yet, but it will be available soon or through a special order request. The 4576 is designed to stick-to–the-skin for up to 21 days. The blog Learn about 3M Medical Tapes (click here) is informative and provides you products and their estimated wearable time frames.
