A liner associated with an adhesive skin patch of a physiological characteristic sensor includes a first end opposite a second end. The liner includes a first side opposite a second side. The liner includes a surface to couple to the adhesive skin patch, at least a portion of which extends from the first end to the second end. The liner includes at least one graspable member defined between the first side and the second side that extends beyond the first end or the second end to initiate a peel of the liner from the adhesive patch at a center of the liner.

Liner for adhesive skin patch

A system for a physiological characteristic sensor deployed with a sensor inserter includes an adhesive skin patch coupled to the physiological characteristic sensor. The adhesive patch is to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The system also includes a gravity resistance system coupled to the adhesive patch and to be coupled to the sensor inserter. The gravity resistance system maintains the adhesive patch substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sensor inserter prior to deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor and is removable from the adhesive patch by the sensor inserter upon deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor.

Systems for skin patch gravity resistance

Removable devices wearable on a user's skin and methods for using such devices are provided. An exemplary removable device includes a skin adhesive configured to adhere to the skin, a durable component, and an interface component interconnecting the durable component and the skin adhesive. The device separates at the interface component to remove the durable component from the skin adhesive upon application of a removal force to the device.

Removable wearable device and related attachment methods

A medical device includes a sensor to observe a characteristic of an anatomy, and a sensor base coupled to the sensor. The medical device includes a coupling system to couple the sensor base to the anatomy. The coupling system includes a first adhesive member and a second adhesive member. The first adhesive member is coupled to the sensor base and the second adhesive member is to couple to the anatomy. The second adhesive member includes at least one cut-out to direct moisture to an ambient environment surrounding the medical device.

A liner associated with an adhesive skin patch of a physiological characteristic sensor deployed with a sensor inserter having a housing with a removable cover includes a surface to couple to the adhesive skin patch. The liner includes a removal portion to couple the liner to the removable cover of the sensor inserter such that a separation of the removable cover from the housing removes the liner from the adhesive skin patch.
