<h2> The role of adhesives in medical wearables
In wearable medical devices, the adhesive is a critical interface between device and skin. It must hold securely while allowing movement, perspiration, and moisture exchange, and still remove gently without residue or trauma.
Kenosha’s skin-safe adhesive systems maintain consistent performance through sweat, motion, and temperature variations, ensuring both accurate data collection and patient comfort.
Skin-safe and biocompatible solutions
All Kenosha adhesive systems are:
- Biocompatible and hypoallergenic
- Breathable and water-resistant for long-term wear
- Residue-free removable to prevent trauma or irritation
- Available in single- or double-coated constructions
Our adhesives suit all skin types and can be combined with films, foams, or nonwoven backings for optimal flexibility and design freedom.
