Abstract
The invention relates to an implantation device for implanting a sensor element for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid or body tissue. The implantation device comprises at least one cannula for piercing a skin surface of a patient. The cannula has at least one holding area for holding the sensor element. The implantation device furthermore has at least one hydraulic container, connected to the cannula, for holding a hydraulic fluid and at least one pressure generation device. The pressure generation device is designed to apply pressure to the hydraulic fluid, wherein the sensor element can be transferred from the cannula into the body tissue using the hydraulic fluid.
