Abstract: A medical device includes a base having a needle channel and a first surface configured to be secured to a patient's skin. An insertable member is configured to be secured to the base with a length portion of the insertable member extending out of the needle channel at the first surface, for insertion through the patient's skin at an insertion site. A septum extends across the needle channel. The septum has a body through which an insertion needle may be selectively extended to facilitate the subcutaneous insertion of the length portion of the insertable member. The septum provides a liquid seal across the needle channel. The needle channel and the septum provide a sealed volume in which a limited amount of blood or other fluid from the insertion site may be held.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide implantable glucose sensors enveloped by a biocompatible sleeve as well as methods for making and using them. In such sensors, the biocompatible sleeve is formed from selected materials that function to inhibit or avoid a foreign body response in patients that can be generated by implanted medical devices. Typical embodiments of the invention include an implantable glucose sensor used in the management of diabetes.
