First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical sensor assembly, comprising:
- a flexible patch configured for adhesion to the skin of a patient;
a sensor configured for transdermal measuring of a physiological parameter, the sensor comprising (i) a measuring part insertable into the skin and formed as a flexible flat substrate with electrode pads or conducting paths thereon, (ii) a contact part configured for providing a signal connection to a measuring unit, and (iii) an intermediate section between the between the measuring part and the contact part; and
a flap formed as a partially cut-out or punched segment of the patch, the flap forming an opening in the patch for the passage of the sensor, the flap being adhered to a flat side of the sensor in the intermediate section of the sensor.

Abstract
This disclosure concerns a medical sensor assembly comprising a flexible plaster adapted for adhesion on the skin of a patient and a sensor configured for transdermal measuring a physiological parameter, wherein the sensor has a measuring part insertable into the skin and a contact part for providing a signal connection to a measuring unit. It is proposed that the plaster has a flap which is adhered to an intermediate section of the sensor between the measuring part and the contact part.

15. A method of inserting a transdermal sensor into the skin of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a flexible patch; providing a a sensor configured for transdermal measuring of a physiological parameter; cutting out or punching out a segment of the patch to form a flap and an opening in the patch for the passage of the sensor; inserting the sensor into the opening; adhering the sensor to the flap, whereby the sensor is adhered to the patch; inserting the sensor into the skin of a patient; and adhering the patch to the skin of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
