Abstract
The present invention provides an assembly comprising a skin-mountable device with a mounting surface, the device being arranged in a packaging releasably attached to the device and having an opening through which the device can be moved when detached from the packaging. The device and the packaging comprises cooperating attachment structure, whereby the attachment structure allows the packaging to be moved in parallel with a skin surface for a predetermined distance when a force in parallel with the skin is applied to the packaging in the first direction, yet prevents movement of the packaging away from the general plane. The attachment structure between the packaging and the skin-mountable device, allows the packaging to be used as a handling tool to place the device on a skin surface, the attachment structure preventing that the device inadvertently falls out during handling, yet allows for easy and safe removal.
