1. A device comprising:
- an outer layer formed of a fluid impermeable polymer film, the outer layer forming an outer major surface of the device;
a reinforcement layer underlying the outer layer;
an adhesive underlying the outer layer, the adhesive forming an annular adhesive surface, wherein the device is configured to form a cavity between an inner surface of the device and a dermal surface when the annular adhesive surface is attached to the dermal surface; and
a fluid conduit operable to provide fluid access to the cavity through the outer layer and the reinforcement layer.

Abstract
A device includes an outer layer formed of a fluid impermeable polymer film. The outer layer forms an outer major surface of the device. The device also includes a reinforcement layer underlying the outer layer and an adhesive underlying the outer layer. The adhesive forms an annular adhesive surface wherein the device is configured to form a cavity between an inner surface of the device and a dermal surface when the annular adhesive surface is attached to the dermal surface. The device further includes a fluid conduit operable to provide fluid access to the cavity through the outer layer and the reinforcement layer.
