Device features and design elements for long-term adhesion
First Claim
1. An electronic device for long-term adhesion to a mammal, the device comprising:
- a physiologic data collection circuit contained within a housing, the housing comprising a first material;
a plurality of wings extending laterally from the housing each wing comprising an electrode positioned on a bottom surface of the wing, each electrode electrically connected to the physiologic data collection circuit;
an adhesive layer positioned on the bottom surface of each wing; and
an electrical barrier positioned on a bottom surface of the housing and configured to protect the electrodes from shortage, the electrical barrier comprising a second material.

Abstract
An electronic device for long-term adhesion to a mammal includes a housing with an electronic component. The electronic device may include a first wing and a second wing, each being integrally formed with the housing. An electrode is positioned on a bottom surface of each of the wings, the electrodes electrically connected to the electronic component. An adhesive layer is provided for adhesion to a surface of the mammal. The adhesive layer may cover a portion of the bottom surfaces of the wings but generally does not cover the electrode or a bottom surface of the housing. A method of applying an electronic device to a mammal includes removing first and second adhesive covers from first and second wings of the electronic device to expose an electrode and an adhesive coated on a bottom surface of each wing.
