We proposed switchable and holdable adhesive mechanism using a suction cup and a chamber with a check valve for skin-attaching device. For long-term use of skin-attaching electronic device, both high adhesion during wearing and low adhesion for peeling are required. The chamber induces suction pressure of the suction cup attached to skin. The check valve achieves to switchable and holdable adhesion without vacuuming during wearing by preventing backward flow. In this paper, we evaluated the adhesion force of the device using switchable adhesive mechanism and confirmed that the switchable adhesive mechanism has low and high adhesion.
