1. Device for the in-vivo measurement of the concentration of an analyte in a body fluid comprising:

  • a) a component with a flexible surface, b) means for securing adherence of that surface to the skin, c) a rigid part holding one or more subcutaneously implantable sensors, d) means for positioning the flexible surface relative to the sensors in such a way that in a first position the sensors are concealed by the surface and in a second position implantable parts of the sensors are exposed above the surface, and e) a releasable mechanism that when locked retains the means for positioning at the first position such that the surface deforms to a convex shape and when released permits the surface to move the means for positioning to the second position while inserting the implantable parts of the sensors into the skin.
