Abstract
A medical device includes a hub and an adhesive patch coupled to the hub. The adhesive patch is to couple the hub to an anatomy. The adhesive patch defines an edge that extends along a perimeter of the adhesive patch. The medical device includes an anisotropic shim coupled to the adhesive patch along the perimeter of the adhesive patch proximate the edge to resist an uncoupling of the adhesive patch from the anatomy. The anisotropic shim has an inner periphery spaced apart from an outer periphery and the anisotropic shim is locally rigid between the inner periphery and the outer periphery.
