Case Study

Problem

  • Requirement for a patch that will hold a wearable device to the body but where the patch could remain on the body through bathing, showering but the device removed during this time and then put back on after

Solution

  • Working with the wearable device team to create a 2-part patch to include a highly breathable skin patch with a technological top surface
  • Replaceable patch acting as an interface between the skin patch and wearable device but would remove cleanly off skin patch without lifting off from friction.
  • Combination of several materials and adhesives

Result

  • Breathable skin patch with easy removal without falloff from friction
  • No residue left on the skin patch or device
