Three-Dimensional Adhesive Patch

An adhesive patch comprising:

• a curved base extending between an apex of the patch and a bottom of the patch, wherein the apex is located at a first end on a perimeter edge of the patch, the bottom is located at a second end on the perimeter edge, and the second end is opposite the first end;
• a ridge within the curved base extending lengthwise between the apex and the bottom;
• first and second sides of the patch that each extend from the curved base to the perimeter edge, wherein the first side is located on one side of the curved base, and the second side is located on an opposite side of the curved base;
• a plurality of radial slits located on both the first side and the second side extending between the perimeter edge of the patch and the curved base, therein providing three or more petals on both the first side and the second side;
• a hole in the ridge, wherein the curved base, the ridge, the first side, and the second side are configured to attach and conform to a three-dimensional region of a wearer's body, wherein the petals are configured to overlap when attached to the three-dimensional region of the wearer's body, and wherein the hole is configured to align with an opening in the wearer's body to receive and facilitate the passage of liquids, solids, or gases from the wearer's body.

A method of applying an adhesive patch to a wearer's body, the method comprising:

• providing an adhesive patch comprising:
• a) a curved base extending between an apex of the patch and a bottom of the patch, wherein the apex is located at a first end on a perimeter edge of the patch, the bottom is located at a second end on the perimeter edge, and the second end is opposite the first end;
• b) a ridge within the curved base extending lengthwise between the apex and the bottom;
• c) first and second sides of the patch that extend from the curved base to the perimeter edge, wherein the first side is located on one side of the curved base, and the second side is located on an opposite side of the curved base;
• d) a hole in the ridge;
• and
• e) at least one release liner attached to a portion of the patch;
• folding the patch along the curved base, wherein the first side and the second side are moved closer together;
• removing the at least one release liner to expose an adhesive surface of the patch;
• applying the patch to a three-dimensional region of the wearer's body, wherein the curved base, the ridge, the first side, and the second side conform to the three-dimensional region of the wearer's body, and wherein the hole is aligned with an opening in the wearer's body to receive and facilitate the passage of liquids, solids, or gases from the wearer's body.
