3M?has unveiled its new medical adhesive that can stick to the skin for up to 28 days and is intended for use with a wide array of health monitors, sensors, and long-term medical wearables. Prior to 2022, the standard wear time for extended medical adhesives was up to 14 days.?3M?now doubles that standard to help deliver a more patient-centric model of care.
Longer wear time for devices and monitors may help drive down costs, accumulate more data for better decision making, and reduce patient disruption.
"Our?3M?scientists created a technology and then pushed that tech to its boundaries without compromising skin health," said?Chad Reed, director of global business for?3M?Medical Materials and Technologies. "Medical wearables are a cornerstone for the future of health care, and we're committed to unlocking its potential with our world-class materials science."
The new adhesive,?3M Medical Tape 4578, also adds the feature of liner free stability, which can be stored for up to one year, giving device makers more flexibility in the design process.
3M?touts more than 55 years of skin adhesion science and?3M?Medical Tape 4578 adds to the extensive breadth of the company's medical adhesive offerings.
