  • Patent number: 8439838
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inserter for a transcutaneous sensor comprising a sensor part e.g. for registration of the bloods content of glucose. The inserter comprises a needle unit comprising a needle hub and a carrier body, and a sensor housing. The sensor housing and the needle hub are releasably connected and when they are connected, the insertion needle is placed along the sensor e.g. surrounding the sensor wholly or partly. The carrier body guides the movement relative to the housing between a retracted and an advanced position. When released the needle unit and the sensor housing are forced by a spring unit to an advanced position where the needle and sensor are placed subcutaneously. The object of the invention is to provide a disposable inserter for a transcutaneous sensor which inserter is easy and safe for the user to handle during use and to dispose of after use.
