Inserter for a Multiplicity of Subcutaneous Parts
First Claim
1. A holding device holding a subcutaneous unit under sterile conditions, the holding device comprising:
- a casing providing a cavity comprising walls where the walls encompass a subcutaneous unit, the cavity having a first side comprising an outlet opening, the outlet opening before use is covered with a penetrable or removable cover, and a second side comprising a layer having an outer surface and being either penetrable or removable or flexible in order to transfer an impact from outside the layer to the held subcutaneous unit, the casing comprising a releasable attachment member corresponding to a member on the subcutaneous unit; and
a needle unreleasably secured to a part of the casing;
wherein an impact towards the outer surface of the layer of the second side pushes the subcutaneous unit at least partly out of the casing and into a subcutaneous position, when the subcutaneous unit is in the subcutaneous position the releasable attachment member of the casing is released allowing detachment of the subcutaneous unit from the casing.

Abstract
A holding device and an inserter are provided. The holding device includes a casing providing a cavity including walls, the was encompass a subcutaneous unit. The cavity includes a first side having an outlet opening, the outlet opening before use is covered with a penetrable or removable cover, and a second side comprising a layer having an outer surface and being penetrable, removable or flexible to transfer an impact from outside the layer to the subcutaneous unit. The casing includes a releasable attachment member corresponding to a member on the subcutaneous unit and a needle secured to the casing. An impact towards the outer surface of the layer pushes the subcutaneous unit at least partly out of the casing into a subcutaneous position, when the unit is in the subcutaneous position the releasable attachment member of the casing is released allowing detachment of the unit from the casing.

13. An inserter comprising a position and attachment member in which position a holding device holding a subcutaneous unit under sterile conditions can be attached with said attachment member,
the holding device comprising a casing comprising at least two cavities, each cavity comprising was where the walls encompass one subcutaneous unit, each cavity having a first side comprising an outlet opening, the outlet opening before use is covered with a penetrable or removable cover, and a second side comprising a layer having an outer surface and being either penetrable or removable or flexible in order to transfer an impact from outside the layer to the subcutaneous unit and a needle, the inserter comprising at least two plungers corresponding to the cavities of the holding device or member for repositioning a single plunger relative to each cavity, each plunger upon activation penetrates or pushes away the layer of the second side and provides an impact to the subcutaneous unit where an impact by each plunger towards the outer surface of the layer of the second side pushes the subcutaneous unit at least partly out of the casing.
