WEARABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SILICONE ADHESIVES MARKET

INTRODUCTION

 Wearable medical device silicone adhesives are a type of adhesive material that can bond wearable medical devices to the skin of patients or users. Wearable medical devices are devices that can monitor, diagnose, treat, or prevent various health conditions by being attached to the body.

Examples of wearable medical devices are glucose monitors, insulin pumps, cardiac monitors, electrocardiogram (ECG) patches, and drug delivery patches.

Silicone adhesives offer many advantages that make them uniquely suitable for wearable devices. Medical-grade silicones are biocompatible and have delivered proven performance in medical device applications for 70 years. They are non-cytotoxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing to skin.

Silicone is hydrophobic, so a device using silicone could potentially be worn in the shower. Silicone adhesives also have excellent thermal stability, flexibility, conformability, and breathability, which can enhance the comfort and compliance of the wearer.

Some of the challenges that wearable medical device silicone adhesives need to address are:

• Providing strong and durable adhesion to various skin types and conditions, as well as to different device substrates and geometries
• Resisting moisture, sweat, body oils, and environmental factors that can affect the adhesive performance
• Allowing easy and painless removal without leaving residues or causing skin damage
• Meeting the regulatory requirements and standards for biocompatibility, safety, and quality

WEARABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SILICONE ADHESIVES MARKETSIZE AND FORECAST

The Global wearable medical device silicone adhesives market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

WEARABLE MEDICAL DEVICE SILICONE ADHESIVES MARKET NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

2480 3M™ Hi-Tack Silicone Adhesive is a type of silicone adhesive that is designed for wearable medical devices that need longer and stronger wear time. It is a single-coated medical nonwoven tape that consists of a white spunlace polyester nonwoven backing, one side coated with 3M proprietary silicone adhesive for repositionable attachment to skin. It has the following features:

High initial tack that enables secure attachment with minimal pressure

Gentle removal that minimizes skin trauma and discomfort

Suitable for people with fragile or sensitive skin

Compatible with ethylene oxide sterilization

High shear strength, low peel strength, low modulus, and high elongation properties

Flexible and conformable to accommodate various device shapes and sizes

Resistant to moisture, sweat, body oils, and environmental factors

Low coefficient of friction that reduces skin shear forces during wear and removal

Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
