Assembly comprising skin-mountable device and packaging therefore

摘要

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.

主权项

1. An assembly for mounting a skin-mountable device, the assembly comprising:
a) a skin-mountable device having an adhesive mounting surface defining a first plane for mounting the skin-mountable device to a selected area of skin; b) a blister package configured to releasably receive and surround the skin-mountable device within an interior cavity defined by a plurality of package walls, wherein the package has an aperture through which the skin-mountable device moves when it is detached from the package; and c) a connecting structure comprising a linear guide that allows the entire package when in a connected state with the skin-mountable device to move a predetermined distance relative to the skin-mountable device in a first direction parallel to the first plane when a force is applied to the package in the first direction before continued movement of the entire package in the first direction causes the package to release the skin-mountable device.
