Abstract
A medical device includes a one-piece resiliently biased band of base material having opposite first and second side surfaces and an adhesive material for temporarily adhesively securing the band to a user's skin. The band can include a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis that intersects the longitudinal axis. Moreover, the band can include first and second lateral portions disposed on opposite sides of the lateral axis. The lateral portions are mirror images of each other such that the band is symmetrical relative to the lateral axis. Each of the lateral portions include a central portion and first and second extending portions spaced apart from each other on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the band and extending away from the central portion. Each of the extending portions further include a perimeter edge defining a portion of an edge of the medical device.
