A valve cut-out can disposed within the platform and receive at least a portion of the valve. A movable foot can be disposed below the platform by which a displacement element moves the foot at least one of toward or away from the platform, in fixed increments of about 1.5 mm, upon rotation of the displacement element. This movement increases or decreases the distance between the platform and the skin/valve.
