Abstract:
An insertion device with an underside for placing on the skin of a patient, which has a recess for an insertion needle. The insertion device has means for forming a skin surface rising like a step or slope and facing towards the recess, preferably bearing on the recess. The means for forming the step or slope may include first and second pressure areas for pressing the skin with the recess for the needle located between the first and second pressure areas. The device may be configured whereby a downwardly extending cutting plane, in which the insertion needle lies, intersects the first pressure area in a first line and the second pressure area in a second line, and wherein the first line in the vicinity of the recess extends at a greater height than the second line. At least one of the two pressure areas may be a strip.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a system for withdrawing body fluids. The system includes a drive unit having a plunger which is moved from a resting position into a lancing position in order to carry out a lancing process and a lancing unit containing a lancet with a needle. The plunger and lancet are coupled together by a form fit in order to carry out a lancing process. The invention additionally concerns a method for temporarily extending a needle from a device for withdrawing body fluid as well as a lancing unit that can be attached to the drive unit.
Abstract:
A medical device for carrying out at least one medical function, comprising at least one element that can be at least partially inserted into a body tissue of a user and further comprising at least one housing that can be placed on a skin surface of the user. The housing has a multipart design and comprises at least one functional component. The functional component can be connected to the insertable element. The housing further comprises at least one protective component. The protective component is designed to at least partially enclose the functional component. The protective component can be connected to the functional component, particularly after insertion of the insertable element.

Abstract:
A device and a method are disclosed for positioning a body part (16) on an analytical device (14) for body fluids includes a flexible compression element (24) for pressing against the body part (16) while increasing the pressure and a rigid support part (26) to hold the compression element (24) on a housing (12) of the analytical device (14). The compression element (24) has an engaging member (34) for the body part (16) which can be pressed into the housing (12) such that a withdrawal region (56) of the body part (16) is exposed in the interior (18) of the housing (12) in order to remove liquid.
