Abstract
Hydrogel containment solutions in wearable medical devices are provided. The hydrogel containment solution partially encloses a hydrogel laterally such that the hydrogel does not leave an area between an electrode and a surface of a patient’s skin during use of the wearable medical device. The hydrogel containment solution may incorporate an insert to support the position of the hydrogel.
Claims20
A wearable medical device comprising:
- an electrical circuit with an electrode;
- a patient adhesive;
- a hydrogel;
- and
- a hydrogel well,
- wherein the patient adhesive is configured to removably affix the wearable medical device to a patient,
- wherein the hydrogel well defines a well configured to partially enclose the hydrogel laterally while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient, and wherein the patient adhesive is configured to be disposed between the hydrogel well and a skin surface of the patient while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient,
- wherein the patient adhesive defines a well configured to partially enclose the hydrogel laterally while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient, and
- wherein the hydrogel is configured to be disposed between the electrode and the skin surface of the patient while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient.

A wearable medical device comprising:
- an electrical circuit with an electrode;
- a patient adhesive;
- and
- a hydrogel,
- wherein the patient adhesive is configured to removably affix the wearable medical device to a patient,
- wherein the patient adhesive defines a well, and wherein the hydrogel defines a perimeter larger than a perimeter of the well of the patient adhesive, such that a portion of the patient adhesive is disposed between the hydrogel and a skin surface of the patient while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient,
- wherein the hydrogel is configured to be partially disposed between the electrode and the skin surface of the patient while the wearable medical device is removably affixed to the patient.
