摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to patches for medical devices. In various embodiments, an adhesive patch of a medical device may have selective areas with adhesive material of varying adhesion strengths. In other embodiments, an adhesive patch of a medical device may include adhesive material that may be activated by a catalyst to increase or decrease the adhesion strength of the adhesive material. In further embodiments, a medical device may include a pierceable membrane containing an agent, the pierceable membrane positioned to be pierced by a needle and to cause some of the agent to be carried to the user-patient.

摘要:
Needle inserting devices, as well as fluid flow connections and infusion medium delivery systems that may be used with needle inserting devices are described, for medical or non-medical systems, such as, but not limited to sensors, monitors, or the like. The needle inserting device and method may operate to insert a needle or cannula through a patient-user s skin, for example, to provide a fluid flow path for conveying an infusion medium through a hollow channel in the needle or cannula and into the patient-user and/or to convey a fluid from the patient-user to one or more sensor elements. Embodiments of the present invention may be configured, as described herein, to provide a reliable, cost effective and easy-to-use mechanism for inserting a needle or cannula to a specific depth into a patient-user with minimal traumatic effect.
