First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests three different skin adhesives on healthy women aged 18 to 40 to see which one stays attached for at least 72 hours and causes the least itching. Each volunteer wears six adhesive patches below the bra line and reports comfort at 24, 48, and 72 hours. The goal is to find the most reliable and skin-friendly adhesive for medical use.
