1. A puncturing device, comprising:

  • a housing;

    a puncture element;

    a puncture element drive disposed in the housing and adapted to move the puncture element relative to the housing in a puncturing direction;

    a press-on part configured to be pressed onto a body part in which a puncture wound is to be generated and having an opening through which the puncture element extends to create the puncture wound during a puncture movement, the press-on part being rigidly connected and fixed to the puncture element drive, wherein the press-on part and the puncture element drive move together as a unit relative to the housing when the press-on part is pressed onto the body part, whereby puncturing depth of the puncture element relative to the press-on part is not affected by movement of the press-on part relative to the housing; and

    a pressure sensor for determining whether pressure exerted on the press-on part meets or exceeds a defined minimum value, the pressure sensor comprising a spring element against a spring force of which the press-on part is movable relative to the housing opposite the puncturing direction.
