of the first and second elongated connectors to the second and first adhesive-backed anchoring members forms an attached portion and a bridging portion for each individual elongated connector, wherein the average width of the bridging portion of each elongated connector is less than the average width of the attached portion. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the bridging portions are substantially free of adhesive. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members are perforated in a direction generally perpendicular to their respective wound edges thereby facilitating removal of a portion of the device thereby reducing the size of the device or creating multiple devices. In instances of the two-component medical device disclosed, the device contains embedded infection indicators useful for detecting the development of infection. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the device is adapted for transdermal drug delivery. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the device comprises an elastic tension indicator element. In instances of the two-component medical device disclosed, the one or more discontinuities comprise one or more punches. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the first elongated component and the second elongated component, or elements thereof, are die cut from sheet stock. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the first and second elongated components are interlaced. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the first and second elongated components are mated in a keyhole arrangement. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the width of the attached portions is constant. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, at least the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members are produced from colored or opaque stock. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the discontinuities increase breathability of the material. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the discontinuities facilitate transfer of sweat from the skin beneath the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members when in use. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the discontinuities results in elastic-like properties. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the discontinuities are invisible to a user. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the slices in adhesive-backed anchoring members create a plurality of adhering subdomains.
