By Marcia Cartier, Clinical Research Associate and Graham Smith, Biostatistician 3M Medical Materials & Technologies, 3M Healthcare
There are many types of adhesive tapes for securing wearable sensors, health monitors, and other medical devices with a variety of requirements. Depending on the application, some adhesives must be gentle, able to adhere in high moisture conditions, flexible, stretchable, and/or conformable. This white paper covers a study that was intended to determine the approximate wear time of five commercially available and seven investigational tapes on non-compromised skin of healthy volunteers.
