Claim:
An assembly for adhesive attachment to the skin or mucosa of a host, said assembly comprising and innermost surface adapted to be proximate to said skin or mucosa and an outermost surface intended to be distal from said skin or mucosa, an outer backing layer corresponding to said outermost surface including an inner surface and an outer surface, a first layer of adhesive disposed on said inner surface of said outer backing layer, an inner backing layer including an inner surface and an outer surface, a second layer of adhesive disposed on said inner surface of said inner backing layer for adhesive attachment of said assembly to said skin or mucosa of said host, an intermediate release liner disposed between said first layer of adhesive and said outer surface of said inner backing layer, said intermediate release liner including an inner surface and an outer surface, both said inner surface and said outer surface of said intermediate release liner including a releasable surface, said intermediate release liner further including at least one centrally located open area, and wherein said first adhesive layer includes a portion adhesively bonded to and in direct contact with said outer surface of said inner backing layer at said at least one open area and a remaining portion of said first adhesive layer temporarily covered by said intermediate release liner, and an inner release liner covering said second layer of adhesive and comprising said innermost surface of said assembly, whereby both said intermediate release liner and said inner release liner can be adhesively released from said contact with said first layer of adhesive and said second layer of adhesive in said assembly, prior to such release can inhibit migration of components of said first and second adhesive layers, and upon removal of said inner release liner said second layer of adhesive comprises said innermost surface of said assembly for attachment to said skin or mucosa of said host.
