Abstract
An assembly for retaining medication in an oral medication delivery tray includes a substrate, a layer of adhesive extending across the substrate and a release liner initially connected to the layer of adhesive. The assembly also includes a tab portion connected to the layer of adhesive and extending past the substrate. The tab portion serves as a handle to facilitate separation of the layer of adhesive from the release liner as the substrate is pulled away from the release liner, so that the layer of adhesive remains on the substrate.
