Abstract

Devices and methods for maintaining a medical device on-body are provided. Embodiments include medical device securement systems having first and second on-body securement elements. Also provided are systems and kits for use maintaining a medical device on-body.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

a non-adhesive backing having a first surface and a second surface; and

an adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the non-adhesive backing forming an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion on the first surface of the non-adhesive backing, the non-adhesive portion positionable over a medical device and sized and configured so that the medical device is not contacted with the adhesive portion when the non-adhesive portion is positioned over the medical device, the non-adhesive portion including an opening, and a transparent shield covering the opening.

2. The device of claim 1, further including a removable release liner adjacent the adhesive.

3. The device of claim 1, further including a removable casting layer adjacent the second surface of the non-adhesive backing.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the adhesive portion is opaque.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the non-adhesive portion comprises a pouch.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the adhesive portion is configured for adherence to an adhesive patch on which the medical device is positioned.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the medical device includes one of sensor electronics, an RF receiver unit, a data monitoring device, an infusion device, or a remote control unit.

8. A system, comprising:

sensor electronics having a housing and a sensor extending from the housing, the housing including a surface covered with an adhesive to adhere to a skin surface; and

a device configured to be positionable over at least a portion of the housing, wherein the device comprises;

a non-adhesive backing having a first surface and a second surface; and

an adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the non-adhesive backing forming an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion on the first surface of the non-adhesive backing, the non-adhesive portion positionable over a medical device and sized and configured so that the medical device is not contacted with the adhesive portion when the non-adhesive portion is positioned over the medical device, the non-adhesive portion including an opening, and a transparent shield covering the opening.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the adhesive and the housing are water resistant or waterproof.

10. The system of claim 8, further including a removable release liner adjacent the adhesive.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the removable release liner comprises a plurality of removable release liners adjacent the adhesive covered surface.

12. The system of claim 8, further including a removable casting layer adjacent the second surface of the non-adhesive backing.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the transparent shield is configured to be positioned over the sensor electronics.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the transparent shield is compressible.
