Wearable devices are broken into 4 categories:

Short-term skin contact in which the wearable device attaches directly to the patient’s body. The device must bond securely and comfortably to the skin, allow the skin to breathe naturally and accommodate a variety of activity and moisture levels with a wear time of up to 7 days.

Long-term skin contact devices are similar in function to the short-term devices with the caveat of length of time on skin and the affect of long wear on the skin attachment surface. Long term wearables are attached for more than 7 days. Care must be taken to assure the skin as well as the adhesive do not degrade and continues to perform as intended.

Tie-layer components are used to bond the layers of the device together. Tie layers are typically double-coated adhesives that adhere and create multi-layer laminations. To assure material and device performance, consideration must be taken to eliminate potential compatibility issues between material layers and device inputs.

Overlay materials cover the device and act as a protective barrier against water and other environmental contaminants. Out gassing and breathability are two critical considerations when in evaluation of these materials.
