Application devices, systems and methods for use with medical devices

A system for attaching a medical device, comprising:

• a medical device attachment device comprising:
• a base layer;
• an adhesive layer on a rearward side of the base layer, the adhesive layer being adapted to removably attach the base layer;
• and
• a medical device attachment mechanism on a forward side of the base layer, the attachment mechanism being adapted to attach the medical device to the base layer;
• and
• a device for dispensing adhesive strips in a medical setting, comprising:
• a backing layer;
• and
• a plurality of adhesive strips removably adhered to a forward side of the backing layer, each of the adhesive strips including a base layer and an adhesive layer on the rearward side of the base layer, the adhesive layer removably adhering the adhesive strip to the backing layer, at least a portion of the adhesive layer remaining in contact with the base layer after removal of the adhesive strip from the backing layer.

A system for detection of extravasation, comprising:

• a sensor comprising:
• at least one transmitting antenna to apply electromagnetic energy in the frequency range of approximately 300 MHz to approximately 30 GHz a first volume of the body over a period of time;
• and
• at least one receiving antenna to measure a resultant signal;
• and
• a device for attaching the sensor to a patient, comprising:
• a base layer;
• an adhesive layer on a rearward side of the base layer, the adhesive layer being adapted to removably attach the base layer;
• and
• a sensor attachment mechanism on a forward side of the base layer, the sensor attachment mechanism being adapted to removably attach the sensor to the base layer.
