member toward a wound or incision; and b) a second component comprising: i) a second adhesive-backed anchoring member having one edge referred to as the wound edge of the second adhesive-backed anchoring member, wherein the second adhesive-backed anchoring member is produced from a polymeric film sheet and wherein the second adhesive-backed anchoring member is characterized by the presence of one or more discontinuities in the polymeric film sheet allowing for the release of sweat from beneath the first adhesive-backed anchoring member; ii) one or more second elongated connectors extending from the wound edge of the second adhesive-backed anchoring member; and iii) one or more second pulling elements joined to the one or more second elongated connectors and adapted for translation of the second adhesive-backed anchoring member toward the wound or incision; c) one or more release liners protecting the adhesive-backed surfaces of the first adhesive-backed anchoring member and the second adhesive-backed anchoring member; d) means for attaching the one or more first elongated connectors to the second adhesive-backed anchoring member thereby forming an attached portion and a bridging portion for each attached first elongated connector; and e) means for attaching the one or more second elongated connectors to the first adhesive- backed anchoring member thereby forming an attached portion and a bridging portion for each attached second elongated connector. In embodiments, the disclosure relates to the two-component medical device as described above wherein the one or more discontinuities comprise one or more slices. In embodiments, the slices are perpendicular to the wound edge. In embodiments, the slices perpendicular to the wound edge are in a portion of the first or second adhesive-backed anchoring members that are not covered by elongated connectors when the device is applied. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the one or more discontinuities comprise one or more perforations. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members are produced from transparent stock. In embodiments, the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members are produced from inelastic stock, or from elastic stock reinforced with an inelastic structural material. In embodiments, the first and second adhesive-backed anchoring members are produced from a vapor-permeable stock. In embodiments, the pulling elements and/or anchoring members are coded to enable user distinction. In instances of the two-component medical device disclosed, the coding comprises an observable geometric distinction. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the coding comprises printed indicia. In embodiments of the two-component medical device disclosed, the coding comprises distinguishing colors.
