A system adapted to be disposed between a rigid or semi-rigid device and human skin for reliably attaching the device to the skin for an extended period of time. The system includes a skin-contacting surface for adhering to human skin, and an opposed surface for attachment to a rigid or semi-rigid device. The system is attached along its opposed surface to a portion of the total area of the adjacent surface of the device. When the device is subjected to external stress, the stress is transmitted through the area of attachment and distributed to the unattached area. This minimises stress on the skin and reduces the chance of detachment from the skin.

Drug delivery device having improved adhesion and attachment system for drug delivery device

A needle ( ) for the delivery of a liquid to a subject comprises a shaft ( ) having an internal surface defining a longitudinally extending internal bore open at one end ( ) to receive a liquid supply, the other end ( ) being sharpened for penetration of the skin of the subject. A plurality of apertures ( ) are provided, each in the form of a cut extending across the external surface of the side of the shaft ( ) at a sufficient depth to establish communication with the bore. The external aperture area is approximately three times greater than the internal aperture area, thereby ensuring that the liquid is delivered to a large surface area of tissue to improve absorption and eliminate fluctuations in the delivery rate. The needle ( ) can be mass-produced by aligning a batch of shafts alongside one another and running a grinder across the surfaces of the shafts to create the apertures ( ) in the entire batch of needles simultaneously.
