Description

[0001] This divisional application is a divisional application based on the Chinese patent application with application number 202111417361.2, application date November 26, 2021, and invention name “Needle aid and medical device for transcutaneous implantation of sensors”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a needle-assisting device and a medical apparatus for percutaneous implantation of a sensor. Background Art

[0003] Measuring blood sugar levels is a daily necessity for people with diabetes. Currently, the most common method is to collect blood from a fingertip and use a fingerstick blood glucose meter to measure blood sugar levels. However, this method has significant limitations, as it only measures a person's blood sugar level at a single moment in time and cannot continuously monitor blood sugar levels. To address this shortcoming, CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) has emerged.

[0004] The principle of CGM is to monitor the glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid of the subcutaneous tissue through a glucose sensor. It is a monitoring technology that indirectly reflects the blood glucose concentration level. It can continuously provide blood glucose concentration information throughout the day, understand the trend of blood glucose concentration fluctuations, and provide doctors with a very effective judgment basis for diagnosis and treatment of target subjects.

[0005] Existing CGM products have complex structures, high production costs, and cumbersome user procedures, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0058] The core idea of the present invention is to provide a needle-assisting device and a medical device for percutaneous implantation of sensors, so as to solve the problems of the existing needle-assisting devices with complex structures and high costs. It should be noted that although this article uses the needle-assisting device for implanting a sensor for detecting blood glucose concentration as an example, as those skilled in the art will understand, the needle-assisting device can also be used to implant sensors for detecting other parameters besides blood glucose concentration, and the present invention does not limit this. In addition, it should be noted that the distal end referred to in this article refers to the end away from the skin of the target object, and the proximal end refers to the end close to the skin of the target object.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in Figure 1 The overall structural diagram of the medical device provided by one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 2 Schematically given Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the medical device shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the medical device includes a needle aid and a sensor assembly 700, and the sensor assembly 700 includes a connected sensor 710 (see Figure 11 ) and transmitter 720 (see Figure 11 ), the needle-assisting device is used to percutaneously implant the sensor 710 under the skin of the target object, and the transmitter 720 receives the detection results of the sensor 710 and sends the detection results to a terminal device (not shown in the figure). It should be noted that, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, computer, tablet computer or receiver, and data can be transmitted between the transmitter 720 and the terminal device through communication methods in the existing technology, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC or RFID.

[0060] Specifically, if Figure 2As shown, the needle assist device includes a first shell 100 and a needle insertion assembly. The needle insertion assembly is arranged inside the first shell 100 and is used to carry the sensor assembly 700. The first shell 100 is provided with a plurality of pressing parts 200. After the pressing parts 200 are triggered, the needle insertion assembly can move from a position away from the proximal end of the first shell 100 to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell 100, so as to percutaneously implant the sensor 710 into the subcutaneous tissue of the target object. Thus, by triggering the pressing parts 200, the needle insertion assembly can be moved from the distal end (i.e., a position away from the proximal end of the first shell 100) to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell 100, so that the sensor assembly 700 carrying the sensor 710 can be transported to the skin surface of the target object, and the sensor 710 can be percutaneously implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the target object to detect parameters such as the blood glucose concentration in the blood of the target object.

[0061] Preferably, an anti-slip structure is provided on the outer wall of the first shell 100; the anti-slip structure includes one or more of ridges, bumps, pits or textures arranged on the first shell. Figure 1 As shown, by providing a plurality of ridges 110 on the outer wall of the first shell 100 , the ridges are provided along the circumference of the first shell, which can play an anti-slip role and is more convenient to use.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the needle assisting device provided by one embodiment of the present invention after completing the needle return action is schematically shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the needle insertion assembly includes a needle holder 300 and a second shell 400, the needle holder 300 is used to fix the implant needle 310, the distal end of the second shell 400 is provided with a first mounting seat 410 for releasably accommodating the needle holder 300, and the proximal end of the second shell 400 is used to be detachably connected to the sensor assembly 700. When the sensor 710 is percutaneously implanted subcutaneously in the target object, the needle holder 300 can be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move toward the distal end of the first shell 100. Since the needle holder 300 is releasably accommodated in the first mounting seat 410, when the sensor 710 is percutaneously implanted under the skin of the target object, the needle holder 300 can be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move toward the distal end of the first shell 100, so that the implant needle 310 can instantly rebound into the first shell 100 following the needle holder 300, effectively preventing the sharp implant needle 310 from accidentally injuring the operator or other personnel. In addition, since the sensor assembly 700 is detachably connected to the second shell 400, it is easier to remove the needle aid after the needle return action is completed, and the sensor assembly 700 can remain on the skin of the target object to achieve continuous monitoring of parameters such as blood sugar concentration. In summary, the needle aid provided by the present invention is not only simple in structure and low in cost, but also easier to operate.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first elastic member 500 is provided in the first mounting seat 410 along its axial direction, the distal end of the first elastic member 500 is connected to the needle holder 300, and the proximal end of the first elastic member 500 is connected to the proximal end of the first mounting seat 410. Before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, the first elastic member 500 is in a compressed state so that the needle holder 300 can be accommodated in the first mounting seat 410. After the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, under the action of the first elastic member 500, the needle holder 300 can be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move toward the distal end of the first shell 100. Therefore, after the needle insertion assembly is close to the proximal position of the first shell 100 (that is, after the sensor 710 is implanted subcutaneously of the target object), the rebound force of the first elastic member 500 can drive the needle holder 300 to be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move to a position close to the distal end of the first shell 100, thereby effectively preventing the sharp implantation needle 310 from accidentally injuring the operator or other personnel during and after the removal of the needle aid, thereby improving the safety of the present invention during use.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first elastic member 500 is preferably a spring, and the first elastic member 500 is disposed around the implant needle 310. Before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal end of the first housing 100, the proximal end of the implant needle 310 passes through the first elastic member 500. Thus, by using a spring as the first elastic member 500, the overall structure of the needle assist device provided by the present invention can be further simplified, effectively reducing costs. It should be noted that, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the first elastic member 500 may also be an elastic element other than a spring, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0065] For further information, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 ,in Figure 4 The structural diagram of the needle insertion assembly before the needle is returned in one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first mounting seat 410 includes a hollow base 411 and a plurality of (for example, three) elastic claws 412 extending along the axial direction of the base 411 toward the distal end of the first shell 100. A first accommodating space 413 for accommodating the needle holder 300 and the first elastic member 500 can be formed between the base 411 and the elastic claws 412. Before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, the distal end of the elastic claw 412 can abut against the distal end of the needle holder 300 to accommodate the needle holder 300 in the first accommodating space 413. After the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, under the action of the first elastic member 500, the distal end of the elastic claw 412 can be separated from the needle holder 300, so that the needle holder 300 can be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move toward the distal end of the first shell 100. It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, in some other embodiments, the first mounting seat 410 may not include a base 411 but only include a plurality of elastic claws 412 . In this case, the first accommodating space 413 is surrounded by the plurality of elastic claws 412 .

[0066] Specifically, the rebound force of the first elastic member 500 is greater than the deformation force of the multiple elastic claws 412. Therefore, before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100 (that is, before the sensor 710 is implanted subcutaneously of the target object), under the action of external force, the downward pressure of the elastic claw 412 on the needle holder 300 can be balanced with the rebound force of the first elastic member 500, so that the needle holder 300 can be firmly fixed in the first mounting seat 410; after the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100 (that is, after the sensor 710 is implanted subcutaneously of the target object), due to the disappearance of external force, under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic member 500, the needle holder 300 can break free from the restraint of the elastic claw 412, and can then be released from the first mounting seat 410 and move toward the distal end of the first shell 100. It should be noted that, although this article uses the example of the first mounting seat 410 including three elastic claws 412 for explanation, as those skilled in the art can understand, in some other embodiments, the first mounting seat 410 may also include two, four or more elastic claws 412, or even elastic arms that can restore deformation to the four sides. The specific setting can be made according to actual conditions, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0067] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the interior of the first shell 100 is provided with a hollow clamping member 120 arranged along its axial direction. Before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, the clamping member 120 can be sleeved on the outside of the elastic claw 412 to clamp the elastic claw 412. After the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell 100, the clamping member 120 can be separated from the elastic claw 412 so that the distal end of the elastic claw 412 can be separated from the needle holder 300, and then the first elastic member 500 causes the needle holder 300 to automatically move toward the distal end of the first shell 100 instantly. Because before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first housing 100 (that is, before the sensor 710 is implanted subcutaneously in the target object), the holding member 120 can be sleeved on the outside of the elastic claw 412, thereby tightly binding the elastic claw 412 to prevent it from being deformed, thereby enabling the distal end of the elastic claw 412 to abut against the needle holder 300 to accommodate the needle holder 300 in the first mounting seat 410; and after the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first housing 100 (that is, before the sensor 710 is implanted subcutaneously in the target object), the holding member 120 can be sleeved on the outside of the elastic claw 412, thereby tightly binding the elastic claw 412 to prevent it from being deformed, thereby enabling the distal end of the elastic claw 412 to abut against the needle holder 300 to accommodate the needle holder 300 in the first mounting seat 410. 710 is implanted subcutaneously in the target object), since the distal end of the elastic claw 412 moves to disengage from the clamping member 120, the elastic claw 412 is no longer constrained by the clamping member 120, and since the rebound force of the first elastic member 500 is greater than the deformation force of the multiple elastic claws 412 at this time, the elastic claw 412 can bend or eject outward under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic member 500, so that the needle holder 300 can be disengaged from the constraint of the elastic claw 412 to release the needle holder 300.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the interior of the first shell 100 is provided with a second elastic member 600 arranged along the axial direction thereof. The distal end of the second elastic member 600 is connected to the distal end of the first shell 100, and the proximal end of the second elastic member 600 is connected to the second shell 400. Before the pressing portion 200 is triggered, the second elastic member 600 is in a compressed state. After the pressing portion 200 is triggered, under the action of the second elastic member 600, the second shell 400 can move toward the position of the proximal end of the first shell 100. Because the second elastic member 600 is in a compressed state before the pressing portion 200 is triggered, after the pressing portion 200 is triggered, under the action of the second elastic member 600, the second shell 400 can move more smoothly toward the proximal end of the first shell 100. This further enables the needle-assisting device provided by the present invention to smoothly and accurately implant the sensor 710 under the subcutaneous tissue of the target object, thereby improving the stability of the medical device provided by the present invention during use.

[0069] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second elastic member 600 is a spring, and the second elastic member 600 is arranged around the clamping member 120 and the first mounting seat 410. Therefore, by adopting a spring as the second elastic member 600, the overall structure of the needle aid provided by the present invention can be further simplified, and the cost can be effectively reduced. In addition, since the second elastic member 600 is arranged around the clamping member 120 and the first mounting seat 410, not only can the internal space of the needle aid be fully utilized, and the overall structure of the needle aid provided by the present invention be further simplified, but also the flexibility of the needle aid during use can be further improved, which is conducive to more rapid implantation of the sensor 710 under the skin of the target object. It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, the second elastic member 600 can also be other elastic members besides a spring, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0070] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4As shown, a plurality of connecting pieces 420 are provided at the far end of the second shell 400, and a connecting platform 130 that cooperates with the connecting pieces 420 is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 100. The connecting platform 130 is close to the position of the pressing portion 200. Before the pressing portion 200 is triggered, the connecting piece 420 is connected to the connecting platform 130. After the pressing portion 200 is triggered, the connecting piece 420 can be detached from the connecting platform 130. Since the coupling platform 130 is close to the position of the pressing portion 200, when the pressing portion 200 is pressed inward toward the interior of the first shell 100 to trigger the pressing portion 200, the inwardly moving pressing portion 200 can push the coupling member 420 to detach from the coupling platform 130, thereby allowing the second shell 400 to move relative to the first shell 100, and further allowing the needle insertion assembly to move from a position away from the proximal end of the first shell 100 to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell 100, so as to implant the sensor 710 subcutaneously in the target object.

[0071] Preferably, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first housing 100 is provided with a pair of opposing pressing portions 200, and the second housing 400 is provided with a pair of connecting members 420. The connecting members 420 are elastic members and are arranged one-to-one with the pressing portions 200. Thus, by providing two sets of pressing portions 200 and connecting members 420 arranged one-to-one, it is possible to ensure that the needle insertion assembly can be firmly fixed within the first housing 100 before the pressing portions 200 are triggered. It should be noted that although this article uses the example of the first housing 100 including two pressing portions 200 and the second housing 400 being provided with two connecting members 420, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, in other embodiments, the first housing 100 may also be provided with one pressing portion 200, three pressing portions 200, or more pressing portions 200, and the second housing 400 may be provided with one connecting member 420, three connecting members 420, or more connecting members 420, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connecting piece 420 is provided with an inclined surface 421 on one side close to the pressing portion 200. Thus, this arrangement can further facilitate the installation of the second housing 400 from the proximal end of the first housing 100, making it easier to assemble.

[0073] Preferably, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 ,in Figure 5 The following schematically shows the three-dimensional structure of the needle assisting device provided by one embodiment of the present invention after completing the needle return action. Figure 6A schematic diagram of the first housing 100 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second housing 400 is provided with a slide groove 430 extending along the axial direction of the second housing 400 on both sides, and the slide groove 430 passes through the proximal end and the distal end of the second housing 400. The inner wall of the first housing 100 is provided with a slide rail 140 that cooperates with the slide groove 430. Therefore, by providing the slide groove 430 on both sides of the second housing 400 and the slide rail 140 on the inner wall of the first housing 100, it is ensured that after the pressing portion 200 is triggered, the slide groove 430 can slide along the slide rail 140, thereby ensuring that the needle insertion assembly can be smoothly moved from a position away from the proximal end of the first housing 100 to a position close to the proximal end of the first housing 100, so that the needle assist device provided by the present invention can smoothly and accurately implant the sensor 710 into the subcutaneous tissue of the target object, thereby improving the stability of the medical device provided by the present invention during use.

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, a stopper 141 is provided at the proximal end of the slide rail 140. Thus, when the needle insertion assembly moves to a position close to the proximal end of the first housing 100, the stopper 141 prevents the needle insertion assembly from moving further downward and disengaging from the first housing 100, thereby ensuring that the needle assist device can be more easily removed from the target patient's skin after the needle return action is completed. Furthermore, because the stopper 141 prevents the needle insertion assembly from disengaging from the first housing 100, it prevents the second housing 400 from disengaging from the first housing 100 and exposing the implant needle 310, further reducing the risk of accidental injury to the implant needle 310.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in Figure 7 The structural diagram of the pressing portion 200 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the pressing portion 200 includes a main body 210 and first cantilevers 220 disposed on either side of the main body 210. The first cantilevers 220 extend outward along the length of the main body 210 and are connected to the inner wall of the first housing 100. The first housing 100 is provided with a first mounting hole 150 corresponding to the main body 210. The main body 210 is mounted within the first mounting hole 150 and is capable of reciprocating within the first mounting hole 150. Thus, the first cantilevers 220 facilitate the fixing of the pressing portion 200 to the first housing 100 through welding or other connection methods, effectively preventing the pressing portion 200 from detaching from the first housing 100 when pressed. It should be noted that, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the first cantilevers 220 have a certain degree of elasticity, thereby allowing the pressing portion 200 to smoothly return to its initial configuration when the operator's hand leaves the pressing portion 200.

[0076] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the first cantilever 220 is arranged in an arc shape, and a second mounting hole 221 is provided on the side of the first cantilever 220 away from the main body 210. The inner wall of the first shell 100 is provided with a mounting post 160 that cooperates with the second mounting hole 221. Because the first cantilever 220 is arranged in an arc shape, it is more convenient for the pressing portion 200 to smoothly return to its initial shape when the external force is withdrawn. In addition, because the second mounting hole 221 is provided on one side of the first cantilever 220 and the mounting post 160 is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 100, the second mounting hole 221 can be firmly fitted onto the mounting post 160 through welding or other connection methods, thereby fixing the pressing portion 200 to the first shell 100.

[0077] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the main body 210 is a hollow structure, and an opening is provided on the side of the main body 210 close to the inner wall of the first shell 100, and a plurality of ribs 211 are provided on the inner wall of the main body 210 along its axial direction. Therefore, by setting the main body 210 as a hollow structure, the weight of the pressing part 200 can be reduced, further reducing costs. Since the main body 210 is provided with an opening on the side of the inner wall close to the first shell 100, not only can costs be further reduced, but it can also be more convenient to set up the connecting platform 130. In addition, since a plurality of ribs 211 are provided on the inner wall of the main body 210, the ribs 211 can reinforce the main body 210, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the pressing part 200.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 , which schematically shows the structure of the needle holder 300 provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the needle holder 300 includes a fixing seat 320 and a plurality of guide posts 330 extending along the axial direction of the fixing seat 320 toward the proximal end of the first shell 100. The proximal end of the fixing seat 320 is provided with an opening, and the interior of the fixing seat 320 is provided with a connecting portion 321 provided along its axial direction. The distal end of the implant needle 310 is provided with a plurality of (for example, two) first clamping portions 311, and the connecting portion 321 is provided with a first clamping groove 3211 that cooperates with the first clamping portion 311. Therefore, the implant needle 310 can be fixed in the needle holder 300 more easily by clamping the first clamping portion 311 into the first clamping groove 3211. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a second accommodating space 340 for accommodating the first elastic member 500 can also be formed between the fixing seat 320 and the guide post 330. This not only further fully utilizes the internal volume of the needle-assisting device and further simplifies the overall structure of the needle-assisting device provided by the present invention, but also facilitates the installation of the first elastic member 500. It should be noted that although the present invention uses the example of the implant needle 310 including two first clamping portions 311 and the connecting portion 321 including two first clamping grooves 3211 as an example, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, in other embodiments, the implant needle 310 may include one first clamping portion 311, three first clamping portions 311, or more first clamping portions 311, and the connecting portion 321 may correspondingly include one first clamping groove 3211, three first clamping grooves 3211, or more first clamping grooves 3211, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0079] For further information, please refer to Figure 9 , which schematically shows the structure of the implant needle 310 provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 As shown, the distal end of the implant needle 310 is provided with a plurality (e.g., two) of second cantilever arms 312. The second cantilever arms 312 extend outwardly along the axial direction of the implant needle 310, and the first engaging portion 311 is provided at the distal end of the second cantilever arms 312. Because the second cantilever arms 312 have a certain degree of elasticity, the provision of the second cantilever arms 312 and the provision of the first engaging portion 311 on the second cantilever arms 312 facilitate the insertion of the first engaging portion 311 into the first engaging slot 3211, thereby further facilitating assembly of the needle assist device.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 ,in Figure 10 A schematic structural diagram of a sensor assembly 700 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 11 A cross-sectional view of a sensor assembly 700 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the sensor assembly 700 also includes a base 730, a sensor 710, and a transmitter 720. The sensor 710 and the transmitter 720 are mounted on the base 730. The proximal end of the second housing 400 is provided with a second mounting seat 440 for releasably accommodating the base 730. The base 730 is detachably connected to the second mounting seat 440. Thus, by integrating the sensor 710 and the transmitter 720 on the same base 730, the structure of the sensor assembly 700 can be simplified, thereby further simplifying the overall structure of the medical device provided by the present invention. In addition, because the second housing 400 is provided with the second mounting seat 440, the sensor assembly 700 can be installed in the needle assist device by installing the base 730 in the second mounting seat 440. In addition, since the base 730 and the second mounting seat 440 are detachably connected, it is more convenient to separate the needle assist device from the sensor assembly 700 after the sensor 710 is implanted under the skin of the target object, so as to remove the needle assist device and leave the sensor assembly 700 on the skin of the target object, thereby continuously monitoring parameters such as blood sugar concentration.

[0081] Specifically, if Figure 11 As shown, the sensor assembly 700 is provided with a circuit board 740, and the sensor 710 and the transmitter 720 are both electrically connected to the circuit board 740. Thus, data detected by the sensor 710 can be transmitted to the transmitter 720 via the circuit board 740, so that the detected data can be sent to an external terminal device via the transmitter 720. More specifically, the sensor 710 is provided with a conductive element 711, so that the sensor 710 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 740 via the conductive element 711. It should be noted that, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the base 730 is also provided with a battery, so that the battery can power the sensor 710 and the transmitter 720.

[0082] For further information, please refer to Figure 12 , which schematically shows a schematic diagram of the second shell 400 and the sensor assembly 700 provided in one embodiment of the present invention when they are separated from each other (the implantation needle is not shown). Figure 12As shown, a plurality of second slots 731 are provided on the outer periphery of the base 730 , and a second clamping portion 441 matching with the second slots 731 is provided on the inner wall of the second mounting seat 440 . Therefore, when the second clamping portion 441 is clamped into the second clamping groove 731, the sensor assembly 700 can be firmly fixed on the second shell 400, so that the needle assisting device can smoothly transport the sensor assembly 700 to the skin of the target object during the movement of the needle insertion assembly toward the proximal end of the first shell 100, so as to implant the sensor 710 subcutaneously into the target object; when the second clamping portion 441 is disengaged from the second clamping groove 731 by external force, the sensor assembly 700 can be smoothly separated from the second shell 400, so that the needle assisting device can be smoothly removed and the sensor assembly 700 can be retained on the skin of the target object. It can be seen that through the mutually cooperating second clamping groove 731 and the second clamping portion 441, the detachable connection between the needle assisting device and the sensor assembly 700 can be smoothly achieved.

[0083] Preferably, if Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the proximal end of the base 730 is provided with a contact surface 750 extending outward along its circumference for contacting the target subject's skin. This contact surface 750 is provided with an adhesive tape. Thus, by providing the adhesive tape on the contact surface 750, the sensor assembly 700 can be securely adhered to the target subject's skin after being brought into proximity with the target subject's skin. When the needle inserter is removed, the adhesive tape's adhesion to the skin is greater than the retaining force of the second clamping portion 441 on the sensor assembly 700, allowing the sensor assembly 700 to remain on the target subject's skin after the needle inserter is removed. Furthermore, since the contact surface 750 extends outward relative to the base 730, the area of the contact surface 750 is effectively increased, further enhancing the adhesion between the adhesive tape and the target subject's skin. It should be noted that, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in other embodiments, the sensor assembly 700 can be attached to the target subject's skin using any other common method.

[0084] For further information, please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 ,in Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the connection relationship between the sensor assembly 700 and the implant needle 310 provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 14 for Figure 13 Cross-sectional view of . Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the base 730 is provided with a through hole 732 for the implant needle 310 to pass through. The proximal end of the sensor 710 is provided with a pin 712, which extends through the through hole 732. The implant needle 310 is provided with a groove 313 along its axial direction for enclosing the pin 712. Thus, when the needle insertion assembly is moved to a position near the proximal end of the first housing 100, the implant needle 310 can smoothly implant the proximal end of the pin 712 subcutaneously under the action of the implant needle 310 to collect parameters such as blood glucose concentration.

[0085] Preferably, if Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, a resilient contact switch 760 is disposed within the through hole 732. When the needle holder 300 is secured within the first mounting seat 410, the resilient contact switch 760 is in an off state. When the needle holder 300 is released from the first mounting seat 410 and moved to a position proximate to the distal end of the first housing 100, the resilient contact switch 760 is in an on state. Thus, by providing the resilient contact switch 760, the sensor assembly 700 can automatically activate its signal transmission function upon completion of the needle return action without requiring an additional switch pressing portion 200 on the sensor assembly 700 or software control. This prevents power consumption during factory storage, thereby further simplifying the structure of the sensor assembly 700, making it smaller and more convenient to wear. Furthermore, the number of operating steps can be further reduced, making operation more convenient and prolonging the service life of the sensor assembly 700.

[0086] Specifically, please refer to Figure 15 , which schematically shows a schematic diagram of the elastic contact switch 760 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when it is in an off state. Figure 15As shown, the elastic contact switch 760 includes a pair of oppositely arranged conductive members 761, at least one of the two conductive members 761 is elastic, and the implant needle 310 includes a connected needle handle 314 and a needle body 315, and the needle handle 314 is made of insulating material. When the needle holder 300 is accommodated in the first mounting seat 410, one of the conductive members 761 abuts against one side of the needle handle 314, and the other conductive member 761 abuts against the other side of the needle handle 314, so that the elastic contact switch 760 is in an off state. When the needle holder 300 is released from the first mounting seat 410 and moves to a position close to the distal end of the first shell 100, the two conductive members 761 can contact each other, so that the elastic contact switch 760 is in an on state. Thus, when the needle holder 300 is accommodated in the first mounting seat 410, the two conductive members 761 are separated by the insulated needle handle 314 (the elastic conductive member 761 is in a compressed state), thereby enabling the elastic contact switch 760 to be in an off state. At this time, the circuit in the sensor assembly 700 is not connected, and the transmitter 720 and the sensor 710 cannot operate. When the needle holder 300 is released from the first mounting seat 410 and moves to a position close to the distal end of the first housing 100 (i.e., after completing the needle retraction action), the implant needle 310 withdraws from the sensor assembly 700, and the two conductive members 761 can contact each other under the action of the elastic force, thereby enabling the elastic contact switch 760 to be in a conducting state. At this time, the proximal end of the pin 712 is successfully implanted subcutaneously in the target subject, the circuit in the sensor assembly 700 is connected, and the transmitter 720 and the sensor 710 begin to operate.

[0087] Please continue to refer to Figure 16 , which schematically shows the structure of the elastic conductive member 761 provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 16 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic conductive member 761 includes a connecting plate 7611, a telescopic member 7612, and a contact terminal 7613. The telescopic member 7612 is fixed to the connecting plate 7611, and the contact terminal 7613 is connected to the end of the telescopic member 7612 away from the connecting plate 7611. Under the action of the telescopic member 7612, the contact terminal 7613 can move away from the connecting plate 7611. Specifically, when the implant needle 310 is withdrawn from the sensor assembly 700, the contact terminal 7613 of the conductive member 761 can move away from the connecting plate 7611 under the action of the telescopic member 7612 until the conductive member 761 contacts another conductive member 761, thereby turning on the elastic contact switch 760.

[0088] Furthermore, if Figure 16 As shown, the telescopic member 7612 includes a hollow sleeve 76121 and a third elastic member 76122 disposed within the sleeve 76121. The sleeve 76121 is fixed to the connecting plate 7611. One end of the third elastic member 76122 is connected to the sleeve 76121, and the other end is connected to the contact terminal 7613. When the needle holder 300 is fixed in the first mounting seat 410, the third elastic member 76122 is in a compressed state. When the implant needle 310 is removed from the sensor assembly 700, the rebound force of the third elastic member 76122 causes the contact terminal 7613 to move away from the connecting plate 7611. Preferably, the third elastic member 76122 is a spring. Therefore, by using a spring as the third elastic member 76122, the structure of the sensor assembly 700 can be further simplified, effectively reducing costs. It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art can understand, in some other embodiments, the telescopic member 7612 may not include the sleeve 76121 but only include a third elastic member 76122. In this case, one end of the third elastic member 76122 is connected to the connecting plate 7611, and the other end is connected to the contact terminal 7613. By selecting a third elastic member 76122 with conductive properties, electrical conduction between the contact terminal 7613 and the connecting plate 7611 can be achieved.

[0089] Furthermore, if Figure 16 As shown, the connecting plate 7611 includes a first plate body 76111 and a second plate body 76112 connected to each other, wherein the first plate body 76111 is arranged along the radial direction of the through hole 732, and the second plate body 76112 is arranged along the axial direction of the through hole 732. The telescopic member 7612 is installed on the side of the second plate body 76112 away from the first plate body 76111. Therefore, this arrangement can further facilitate the installation of the conductive member 761.

[0090] Please continue to refer to Figure 17 , which schematically shows a schematic diagram of the elastic contact switch 760 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when it is in a conducting state. Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic contact switch 760 includes a conductive member 761a and a conductive member 761b, wherein the conductive member 761a is not elastic, that is, after the needle back action is completed, the conductive member 761a remains stationary, and the conductive member 761b is elastic, that is, after the needle back action is completed, the conductive member 761b can approach the conductive member 761a and contact the conductive member 761a, so that the elastic contact switch 760 is turned on. Specifically, as Figure 17As shown, in this embodiment, the conductive member 761b includes a connecting plate 7611b, a retractable member 7612b, and a contact terminal 7613b. The elastic conductive member 761b provided in this embodiment differs from the elastic conductive member 761 provided in the previous embodiment in that, in this embodiment, the retractable member 7612b and the contact terminal 7613b are an integrated structure. The retractable member 7612b is an inclined spring, and the contact terminal 7613b is formed by bending the end of the retractable member 7612b away from the connecting plate 7611b. Since the retractable member 7612b and the contact terminal 7613b are an integrated structure, the structure of the sensor assembly 700 can be further simplified, effectively reducing costs.

[0091] Please continue to refer to Figure 18 , which schematically shows a schematic diagram of the elastic contact switch 760 provided in another embodiment of the present invention when it is in the on state. Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic contact switch 760 includes a conductive member 761c and a conductive member 761d. Compared with the elastic contact switch 760 provided in the previous embodiment, the elastic contact switch 760 provided in this embodiment is different in that, in this embodiment, the conductive member 761c and the conductive member 761d are both elastic, and the structures of the conductive members 761c and 761d are similar to the structure of the conductive member 761b in the previous embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0092] Please continue to refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 ,in Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a medical device provided by another embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically; Figure 20 Schematically given Figure 19 The schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the medical device shown in FIG. Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, the medical device further includes a protective cover 800. The sensor assembly 700 and the needle insertion assembly are enclosed in a space enclosed by the first housing 100 and the protective cover 800. The protective cover 800 is detachably mounted on the proximal end of the first housing 100. Thus, by providing the protective cover 800, the sensor assembly 700 and the needle insertion assembly can be sealed inside the first housing 100, effectively preventing the needle insertion assembly and the sensor assembly 700 from being contaminated before use of the medical device. It can also effectively prevent the sharp implant needle 310 from accidentally injuring the operator or other personnel due to the accidental triggering of the pressing portion 200 before the protective cover 800 is removed. It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, before removing the protective cover 800, under the action of the protective cover 800, pressing the pressing portion 200 will not cause the needle insertion assembly to move from a position away from the proximal end of the first shell to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell; only after removing the protective cover 800 can the pressing portion 200 be pressed to move the needle insertion assembly from a position away from the proximal end of the first shell 100 to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell 100, so as to percutaneously implant the sensor 710 subcutaneously into the target object. In addition, it should be noted that, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, a snap-on detachable connection method or other detachable connection methods commonly used in the prior art can be adopted to achieve a detachable connection between the protective cover 800 and the first shell 100, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0093] Furthermore, if Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, when a tape is provided on the contact surface 750 of the sensor assembly 700, the release film of the tape mates with the distal end of the protective cover 800. This engagement can be achieved through double-sided tape or a mechanical connection. Thus, the release film protects the tape, ensuring its effectiveness. When the protective cover 800 is pulled outward, the release film can move with it, allowing it to separate from the tape.

[0094] Furthermore, if Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the protective cover 800 is provided with a protective seat 810 corresponding to the implant needle 310. Thus, when the protective cover 800 is installed inside the first housing 100, the implant needle 310 wrapped around the pin 712 can be inserted into the protective seat 810, thereby sealing the implant needle 310 and the pin 712, effectively preventing the sharp implant needle 310 from accidentally injuring the operator or other personnel.

[0095] Please continue to refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 ,in Figure 21 The overall structural diagram of a medical device provided by another embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown; Figure 22 Schematically given Figure 21 The partial structural diagram of the medical device shown in FIG. Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the medical device further includes a sterilization box 900, and the sensor assembly 700 and the needle assist device are sterilized as a whole and installed in the sterilization box. Therefore, by covering the sterilization box 900 on the outside of the first shell 100, the needle insertion assembly, the sensor assembly 700 and other components of the medical device can be placed in a sterile environment before use, further preventing the needle insertion assembly, the sensor assembly 700 and other components from being contaminated. Specifically, as Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the sterilization box 900 includes a box body 910 and a box cover 920 covering the box body 910. When the box cover 920 is opened (i.e., the box cover 920 is removed), the needle aid and sensor assembly 700 located in the box body 910 can be taken out without further assembly. The corresponding operation can be performed to percutaneously implant the sensor 710 subcutaneously into the target object, which is convenient and quick, and greatly avoids the contamination problem during the percutaneous implantation process. In addition, it should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, it is also possible to assemble only a part of the sensor assembly 700 (at least including the sensor 710) with the needle aid and install it in the sterilization box 900. After the percutaneous implantation is completed, the sensor 710 is assembled with the other parts of the sensor assembly 700 (such as the transmitter 720) to detect parameters such as the blood glucose concentration in the target object's blood. The present invention is not limited to this.

[0096] In summary, compared with the prior art, the needle-assisting device and medical device for percutaneous implantation of a sensor provided by the present invention have the following advantages: since the needle-assisting device provided by the present invention includes a first shell and a needle insertion assembly, the needle insertion assembly is arranged inside the first shell and is used to carry the sensor assembly including the sensor; the needle insertion assembly includes a needle holder and a second shell, the needle holder is used to fix the implantation needle, the distal end of the second shell is provided with a first mounting seat for releasably accommodating the needle holder, and the proximal end of the second shell is used to be detachably connected to the sensor assembly; the first mounting seat is connected to a first elastic member arranged along the axial direction of the first shell, the distal end of the first elastic member is connected to the needle holder, and the proximal end of the first elastic member is connected to the proximal end of the first mounting seat; the first mounting seat includes a plurality of elastic members The elastic claws can form a first accommodating space for accommodating the needle holder and the first elastic member between the multiple elastic claws; the first shell includes a clamping member and a pressing portion, the clamping member is arranged inside the first shell and along the axial direction of the first shell, and before the needle insertion assembly approaches the proximal position of the first shell, the clamping member can be sleeved on the outside of the elastic claw to clamp the elastic claw; after triggering the pressing portion, the needle insertion assembly moves toward the proximal position close to the first shell to percutaneously implant the sensor into the subcutaneous tissue of the target object until the clamping member can be separated from the elastic claw so that the distal end of the elastic claw can be separated from the needle holder, and then the first elastic member causes the needle holder to automatically move toward the distal end of the first shell instantly. Thus, by triggering the pressing portion, the needle insertion assembly can be moved from a position away from the proximal end of the first shell to a position close to the proximal end of the first shell, thereby transporting the sensor assembly carrying the sensor to the skin surface of the target subject, and implanting the sensor percutaneously under the subcutaneous tissue of the target subject to detect parameters such as the blood glucose concentration in the target subject's blood. Since the needle holder is releasably accommodated in the first mounting seat, after the sensor is percutaneously implanted under the subcutaneous tissue of the target subject, the clamping member can be separated from the elastic claw, thereby enabling the distal end of the elastic claw to be separated from the needle holder, and then enabling the needle holder to automatically move toward the distal end of the first shell under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic member, thereby enabling the implant needle to instantly rebound into the first shell following the needle holder, effectively preventing the sharp implant needle from accidentally injuring the operator or other personnel. In summary, the needle aid provided by the present invention is not only simple in structure and low in cost, but also more convenient to operate. Since the medical device provided by the present invention includes the needle assisting device described above, it has all the advantages of the medical device described above, and therefore no further details will be given.
