1. System for withdrawing body fluid from a first region of a part of the body, the system comprising:
- a compression unit being formed to squeeze and at least partially enclose a second region of the body part when the body part is pressed against the unit in a primary direction, the second region adjoining the first region, and to partially convert applied pressure from the body part in the primary direction into a movement of the unit in a secondary direction with a component perpendicular to the primary direction such that an internal pressure is increased in the first region of the body part, a perforation device being formed to produce a body opening in the area of the increased internal pressure of the first region which juts out from the unit, wherein the puncture depth of the perforation device is adjustable, and a control unit is integrated which coordinatively controls the activation of the perforation device and analytical system.

Abstract
System for withdrawing body fluid from a body part in particular the finger pad, comprising a compression unit that can be deformed when the body part is pressed against it and increases the internal pressure in a region of the body part, and a withdrawal device. Deformation of the compression unit partially converts the primary pressing movement into a secondary movement which leads to an increase in the internal pressure in a region of the body part. The invention also comprises a system for stimulating the outflow of body fluid using a deformable compression unit.

- 2. System for stimulating the outflow of a body fluid from a first region of a body part comprising a compression unit which partially converts a pressure applied by a second region of the body part, which adjoins the first region, in a primary direction into a movement of the unit in a secondary direction with a component at right angles to the primary direction and thus increases the internal pressure in the first region of the body part, which juts out from the unit, wherein the compression unit squeezes and at least partially encloses the second region of the body part when the body part is pressed against the compression unit.

17. System for withdrawing body fluid from a region of a part of the body, the system comprising:
-
a compression unit being formed to at least partially enclose the body part when the body part is pressed against it in a primary direction and to partially convert applied pressure from the body part in the primary direction into a movement of the unit in a secondary direction with a component perpendicular to the primary direction such that an internal pressure is increased in the region of the body part, and a perforation device being formed to produce a body opening in the area of the increased internal pressure, in which the compression unit has a U-shaped region with side parts that are formed to move towards one another when the body part is pressed against the U-shaped region and the U-shaped region is flexible and includes ends that are connected to levers of essentially constant length.

19. Method for stimulating outflow of body fluid from a first region of a body part, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a compression unit, placing the body part in the unit so that the first region juts out from the unit, and pressing the body part against the compression unit in a primary direction, the compression unit squeezing and at least partially enclosing a second region of the body part and partially converting the primary pressing movement into a movement of the unit in a secondary direction transverse to the primary direction such that the internal pressure is increased in the first region of the body part. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
