Abstract

See full text

A skin attachment member of plastic resin, includes a sheet-form backing, and an array of skin penetrating elements extending integrally from the backing. The skin penetrating elements are configured to penetrate into the epidermal skin layer and are sized to limit painful contact with nerves below the epidermal skin layer. At least many of the skin penetrating elements each include at least one retention barb extending from an outer surface of the skin penetrating element. The barbs are configured to cooperate to resist removal of the skin attachment member from skin. The skin penetrating elements have a cone-shaped body with a pointed tip. The skin penetrating elements can have a groove in their outer surface. The skin attachment member is formed by molding.
