Wearables

Precision Solutions for Converting Disposable Wearable Devices

Wearable medical devices are transforming healthcare. They offer portable, real-time monitoring across a wide range of applications. These devices detect and measure biological signals to track health conditions like heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and even sweat composition.

This technology supports early disease detection, personalized treatment, and continuous health management. As a result, wearable devices are becoming essential tools in both clinical and personal care environments.

The Importance of Skin-Friendly Materials

Disposable wearables adhere directly to the skin. They provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of key physiological parameters—such as glucose levels, hydration, and cardiovascular activity.

To ensure comfort and ease of use, these biosensors are designed to be lightweight, flexible, and discreet. This makes them ideal for extended wear in both clinical settings and everyday life.

The success of wearable biosensors depends largely on material performance. Skin-contact materials must be biocompatible to avoid irritation or allergic reactions. At the same time, they need strong, yet gentle adhesives that stay in place without compromising comfort.

Applications We Support: 

  • Wearable biosensors
  • Stick-to-skin medical patches
  • Drug delivery systems
  • Stick-to-skin glucose monitors
  • Monitoring and diagnostic wearables
  • Flexible medical adhesive solutions
