| abstract |
An apparatus adapted to be disposed between a rigid or semi-rigid device and human skin for reliably attaching the device to the skin for an extended period of time. The apparatus includes a carrier having a skin-contacting surface, and an opposed device-contacting surface, and at least one skin adhesive layer secured to the skin-contacting surface of the carrier for securing the carrier to the skin. A surface area of the skin adhesive layer is less than an area of the skin-contacting surface of the carrier. |
