Abstract
An apparatus adherable to a user's skin, such as a wearable medical device, is presented here. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a durable component having a periphery defining a footprint of the durable component, and a skin adhesive component coupled to the durable component to facilitate securing the durable component to the user's skin. The skin adhesive component includes a first region and a second region removably attached to the first region. The first region of the skin adhesive component resides completely within the footprint of the durable component. After removal of the second region of the skin adhesive component, the first region remains intact and protected underlying the durable component.
