Abstract
A skin patch includes first and second layers of material and a telesensor sandwiched between the first and second layers. The first layer has a coating of skin-compatible adhesive material on its face that is remote from the second layer.
Claims22
A skin patch comprising:
- a first layer of material, the first layer having first and second opposite main faces and the first main face having a coating of skin-compatible adhesive material,
- a second layer of material, the second layer having first and second opposite main faces and the first main face of the second layer being in confronting relationship with the second main face of the first layer, and
- a telesensor for emitting a signal that represents a physiological parameter sensed by the telesensor, the telesensor being sandwiched between the first and second layers,
- and wherein the first and second layers are permeable to water vapor.

A skin patch comprising:
- a perforated flexible circuit substrate having first and second opposite main faces and the first main face having a coating of skin-compatible adhesive material,
- a layer of material having a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 425 g/m2 per 24 hours, said layer having first and second opposite main faces and the first main face of said layer being in confronting relationship with the second main face of the flexible circuit substrate, and
- a telesensor for emitting a signal that represents a physiological parameter sensed by the telesensor, the telesensor being attached to the flexible circuit substrate and covered by said layer.
