Abstract
An adhesive patch arrangement for a sensor includes a flexible patch, a sensor-affixing feature located in a sensor mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible patch, the sensor-affixing feature securing the sensor to the flexible patch, and a device-affixing feature located in a device mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible patch. The device-affixing feature secures a device to the flexible patch. The sensor mounting and device mounting regions are distinct and separate regions. The arrangement also includes a removable reinforcement liner adhered to, and covering, the device-affixing feature, and shaped to define a cutout area that partially surrounds the sensor-affixing feature. The arrangement also includes a removable backing liner adhered to, and covering, the adhesive skin-facing side of the flexible adhesive patch.
