Adhesive patch for monitoring acoustic signals
First Claim
1. An adhesive patch for monitoring acoustic signals from a human or animal body comprising an adhesive part and a converting part being releasably connectable to each other via a first connecting means and a second connecting means, wherein the adhesive part is provided with an adhesive surface adapted for providing a skin contacting surface and a non-adhesive outer surface which faces away from the skin contacting surface, and the adhesive part has a through-going opening which provides communication from the outer surface of the adhesive part to the skin contacting surface, and the converting part comprises a converting means, provided with a skin contacting surface, for recording the acoustic signals and converting them to a first electric output signal and transmitting means for transmitting the output signal to a peripheral device;
- and when the converting part is connected to the adhesive part, where the converting means being arranged in said opening such that the skin contacting surface of the converting means and the skin contacting surface of the adhesive part come into contact with a skin surface as the adhesive patch is attached to a skin surface of a user, and that the adhesive part is provided with a compression structure at the skin contacting surface, wherein the compression structure is in the form of one or more protrusions that project out from the skin contacting surface and positioned around the converting means.
