Definitions

• a method of securing a tape comprises providing a securement assembly, wherein the securement assembly comprises an adhering element comprising a first surface comprising a first mechanical fastener and a second surface, opposite the first surface, comprising an adhesive, a securing element comprising a first surface and a second surface, opposite the first surface, and a second mechanical fastener on at least one of the first surface or second surface of the securing element to secure with the first mechanical fastener, wherein the securing element covers the adhesive of the second surface of the adhering tape, and removing the securing element from the adhering element, and securing the adhesive of the second surface of the adhering element to a surface.
• FIG. 4 is a top view of the adhering element of FIG. 3;
• FIG. 10 is a side sectional view of the adhering element and securing element of the securement assembly of FIG. 9 shown securing a device to a surface;
• FIG. 1 1 is a side sectional view of a fourth embodiment of a securement assembly
• the adhesive 235 may be any type of adhesive useful for securing the adhering element 200 to a surface 500.
• the type of adhesive selected will depend on the desired properties of peel force, shear force, permanence, removability, characteristics of adherent, etc.
• the adhesive 235 will be a pressure sensitive adhesive, which can adhere to a surface with application of light pressure and without the need for heat or other external sources to active adhesion.
• the adhesive may be an acrylate, silicone, urethane, polyolefin, synthetic rubber, or natural rubber based adhesive.
• SILPURAN® 21 10 and 2130 Bluestar SILBIONE® RT Gel 4317 and 4320, Nusil MED-6345 and 6350.
• the adhesive 235 may cover all or a portion of the second surface 230 of the adhering element 200. Also, the adhesive 235 may be applied to the second surface 230 in a discontinuous pattern or may be perforated. When the adhering element 200 is applied to skin, it is particularly desirable to have perforations or a pattern coating of adhesive to allow for moisture vapor to move away from the skin and out of the adhering element 200.
• U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,001 and U.S. Pat. App. Pub. 2008- 0233348 disclose a method of pattern coating adhesive.
• an optional backing 310 may be included as one more layers of material to form either the first surface 320 or second surface 330.
• the backing 310 is optional because the second mechanical fastener 325 may be formed to include both the fastener and a backing-like portion, all of the same material.
• FIG. 14 shows a securement assembly 100 with an adhering element 200 and a securing element 300.
• the first mechanical fastener 225 On the first surface 220 of the adhering element 200 is the first mechanical fastener 225, which comprises a plurality of stems.
• the first working adhesive 226 On the first surface 220 is the first working adhesive 226 that is recessed from the outermost portion of the stems.
• the securing element 300 would initially cover the adhesive 235 of the adhering element 200 similar to that shown in either FIGS. 1 or 2.
• FIG. 14 shows the securing element 330 and the second mechanical fastener 325 applied over the first mechanical fastener 225 of the adhering element 200.
• a plurality of stems/hooks with a working adhesive will have good finger tack with the working adhesive provided at greater than 45% of the stem/hook height. It is understood that a protective release liner could be used to cover the surface that contains a working adhesive.
• securing element 300 could have an opening 350, wherein at least a portion of the device 600 could pass through.
• FIG. 13 shows an example of a securing element 300 with a device 600 passing though from the first surface 320 to the second surface 330.
• the opening 350 may include a throughhole that the device 600 passes through, a slit that wraps around the device 600, or as shown in FIG. 13, two parts of securing element 300 that wrap around the device 600.
• an underlying adhering element 200 is included for the securement assembly 100 to secure with the surface 500 and to which the shown securing element 300 is attached.
• the surface and device can be any number of types and materials.
• the surface may be rigid or compliant, plastic, glass, wood, fabric, or skin.
• the device can be any kind of device that is desired to be secured to a surface.
• the device may be rigid or compliant, plastic, glass, wood, fabric and be for electrical, medical, or various types of application.
• the surface is skin and the device is a medical device, such as a tube, catheter, port, or pump.
