Keypoints • To establish a lasting reaction free skin penetration the skin at the penetration site must not move in relation to the coupling. • The skin should also be free of hair follicles in order to facilitate everyday cleaning. • A specially designed dermatome will ensure a 0.6‐mm thick hairless skin flap. • By applying a very gentle pressure on the flap the risk of skin necrosis during the healing phase is reduced.
