1. A medical sensor assembly, comprising:
- a flexible patch configured for adhesion to 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 signal transmitter, and (iii) an intermediate section between the measuring part and the contact part;
a flap formed as a partially cut-out or punched segment of the patch, the cut-out or punched segment forming an opening in the patch for passage of the sensor, the flap having a section with a surface that adheres to a side of the sensor in the intermediate section of the sensor; and
a hollow inserter cannula in which the sensor at least with its measuring part is positioned for insertion into the skin, wherein the cannula is retractable from the sensor and the patch while the sensor remains adhered to the flap.

Abstract
A medical sensor assembly comprises 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 skin of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a flexible patch; providing 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 passage of the sensor; inserting the sensor into the opening; adhering a side of the sensor to a side of the flap, whereby the sensor is adhered to the patch; using an inserter cannula in which the sensor is at least partially positioned to insert the sensor into the skin of the patient; adhering the patch to the skin of the patient; and retracting the cannula from the sensor and the patch while the sensor remains adhered to the flap. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
