Abstract
The present invention is directed to a device, which can be attached to a subject's skin with an adhesive collar. The device can be a sensor, an actuator or a marker. Preferably, the device is a sensor, and more preferably in the form of a wet or dry electrode sensor, and most preferably, a dry electrode sensor. The invention is used to attach the device to a subject's prepared or unprepared skin so that the device can remain attached to the subject for an extended period of time with minimal skin irritation, breakdown, or re-application, and preferably with no skin irritation, breakdown, or re-application.
Claims5
A dry physiological electrode with adhesive collar to be attached to a subject's skin comprising
- a dry electrode sensor comprising a substrate having an upper and lower surface and at least one penetrator(s) protruding from the lower surface of the substrate;
- an adhesive collar for attaching the dry electrode sensor to a subject's skin, the adhesive collar comprising a breathable polymer sheet having an upper and a lower surface, and an adhesive
- wherein the moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of the breathable polymer sheet is greater than about 100 g/sq.m./24 hrs.
