Adhesive patch arrangement for a physiological characteristic sensor, and related sensor assembly
First Claim
1. An adhesive patch arrangement for a physiological characteristic sensor, the adhesive patch arrangement comprising:
- a flexible adhesive patch comprising an adhesive skin-facing side, and a component-facing side opposite the adhesive skin-facing side;
a first affixing feature located in a sensor mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible adhesive patch, the first affixing feature comprising an adhesive sensor-receiving surface to secure the physiological characteristic sensor to the flexible adhesive patch;
a second affixing feature located in a device mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible adhesive patch, the second affixing feature comprising an adhesive device-receiving surface to secure a device to the flexible adhesive patch, wherein the sensor mounting region and the device mounting region are distinct and separate regions;
a removable reinforcement liner adhered to, and covering, the adhesive device-receiving surface of the second affixing feature, the reinforcement liner being shaped to define a cutout area that at least partially surrounds the first affixing feature, and the reinforcement liner being formed from a material that reinforces structural rigidity of the flexible adhesive patch when the reinforcement liner is adhered to the adhesive device-receiving surface; and
a removable backing liner adhered to, and covering, the adhesive skin-facing side of the flexible adhesive patch.

Abstract
An adhesive patch arrangement for a sensor includes a flexible patch, a sensor-affixing feature located in a sensor mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible patch, the sensor-affixing feature securing the sensor to the flexible patch, and a device-affixing feature located in a device mounting region of the component-facing side of the flexible patch. The device-affixing feature secures a device to the flexible patch. The sensor mounting and device mounting regions are distinct and separate regions. The arrangement also includes a removable reinforcement liner adhered to, and covering, the device-affixing feature, and shaped to define a cutout area that partially surrounds the sensor-affixing feature. The arrangement also includes a removable backing liner adhered to, and covering, the adhesive skin-facing side of the flexible adhesive patch.
