  • a retainer body comprising a first body portion that is pivotably coupled to a second body portion about a longitudinal fold axis; and

    first and second anchors that extend distally from a distal end of the retainer body, each anchor comprising a flexible tine that is deployable in a subcutaneous region to secure the retainer body relative to a penetration point, the first anchor being coupled to the first body portion and the second anchor being coupled to the second body portion,wherein the first body portion of the retainer body is pivotable relative to the second body portion about the longitudinal fold axis so that the first and second anchors are adjustable from a first configuration in which the flexible tines extend outwardly away from one another to a second configuration in which the flexible tines extend generally in a same direction; and

    wherein the first body portion and the second body portions define a cutout region therebetween at a proximal end opposite from the first and second anchors in the first configuration to provide visualization and access to a surface under the retainer body.
