Safety

Does HyperPulse cause skin irritation?

Designed to minimize irritation. The carrier uses skin-friendly athletic adhesive material under validation — same class as pediatric ICU electrodes, continuous glucose monitors, and post-surgical wound dressings. Skin-sensitive tape options are being evaluated for athletes with documented adhesive sensitivity. Pre-launch — real-world skin-tolerance data ships with the Q3–Q4 2026 pilot cohort.

Adhesive specification

Skin-friendly skin-friendly acrylic adhesive on a breathable polyurethane film carrier (3M-class material standard). The carrier is gas + moisture permeable so the skin doesn't macerate over multi-day wear. Same adhesive class used on pediatric continuous glucose monitors worn through exercise.

If your athlete has known adhesive sensitivity

Athletes with documented contact dermatitis or known adhesive sensitivity can request the skin-friendly carrier variant from day one. Patch testing on a 2 cm strip on the forearm for 24 hours before full deployment is the same conservative protocol used for CGM, sports-tape, and dermal-patch consumers.

Target replacement schedule

5–7 days per patch in normal use. Earlier replacement if the athlete sweats heavily in 90°F+ humidity or plays in continuous rain. The skin gets a 12–24 hour break between patches if rotated to the opposite side of the upper back.

Removal technique

Lift one corner with a fingernail. Peel sideways (horizontally) — not straight up. Slow peel takes 8–10 seconds. Avoid hot showers immediately before removal (the adhesive softens and bunches).
