A microsensor and method of manufacture for a microsensor, comprising an array of filaments, wherein each filament of the array of filaments comprises a substrate and a conductive layer coupled to the substrate and configured to facilitate analyte detection. Each filament of the array of filaments can further comprise an insulating layer configured to isolate regions defined by the conductive layer for analyte detection, a sensing layer coupled to the conductive layer, configured to enable transduction of an ionic concentration to an electronic voltage, and a selective coating coupled to the sensing layer, configured to facilitate detection of specific target analytes/ions. The microsensor facilitates detection of at least one analyte present in a body fluid of a user interfacing with the microsensor.

Transdermal microneedles continuous monitoring system is provided. The continuous system monitoring includes a substrate, a microneedle unit, a signal processing unit and a power supply unit. The microneedle unit at least comprises a first microneedle set used as a working electrode and a second microneedle set used as a reference electrode, the first and second microneedle sets arranging on the substrate. Each microneedle set comprises at least a microneedle. The first microneedle set comprises at least a sheet having a through hole on which a barbule forms at the edge. One of the sheets provides the through hole from which the barbules at the edge of the other sheets go through, and the barbules are disposed separately.

A microneedle has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and defines a lumen. The proximal end portion is configured to be coupled to a cartridge to place the lumen in fluid communication with the cartridge. The proximal end portion includes a base surface that is configured to be placed in contact with a surface of a target tissue. The distal end portion of the microneedle includes a beveled surface. The beveled surface defines a tip angle of less than about 20 degrees and a ratio of a bevel height to a bevel width of less than about 2.5.

An apparatus for insertion of a medical device in the skin of a subject is provided, as well as methods of inserting medical devices. Embodiments include removing a substantially cylindrical cap from an inserter to expose a substantially cylindrical sleeve, removing a cover from a substantially cylindrical container holding sensor components, and fitting the sensor components into the inserter.

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an insertion guide needle for a continuous blood glucose monitoring device. The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing an insertion guide needle for a continuous blood glucose monitoring device, by which: an insertion guide needle can be manufactured through a cutting process and a bending process of a needle raw plate, so that a complicated manufacturing process is unnecessary, and can thus be easily manufactured through a simple process; an enlargement incision part for continuous enlargement and incision, etc. can be conveniently manufactured through such a simple processing process, so that a manufacturing cost thereof can be reduced and also the size accuracy of the insertion guide needle can be improved; and, particularly, in a process of inserting the insertion guide needle into skin, the insertion guide needle can be brought into point contact with the skin to cut the skin, and then can continuously cut the skin in an enlarged manner, so as to minimize pains which may occur in the process of inserting the insertion guide needle into the skin, thereby alleviating the sense of repulsion or tension at the time of using the continuous blood glucose monitoring device.

A disposable lancing device contains: a first casing, a second casing, and a needle holder. The first casing includes a close segment, an open segment, a slideway, two tilted contact faces, a fixing portion, two recesses, and two push fringes. The second casing includes an accommodation chamber, two limitation extensions, and multiple drive protrusions. A forcing face is defined on the second casing opposite to the two limitation extensions, and a through hole is defined on a center of the forcing face. The through hole has a protruded rib. The needle holder includes a collection needle having a syringe needle, and the needle holder further includes a trigger spring, a return spring, and two symmetrical flexible wings. The two symmetrical flexible wings include two driving segments configured to abut against the two symmetrical flexible wings to flexibly retract inward by using the two tilted contact faces.
