Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a subcutaneous implant sensor insertion device, in particular, an assistant needle device for a subcutaneous implant sensor. Background Art

[0002] Subcutaneous implantable sensors are a type of sensors used for measuring subcutaneous analytes or transcutaneous monitoring. Generally, they are based on electrochemical sensors or optical sensors. By measuring and analyzing the target analytes in subcutaneous tissue fluid, the presence or concentration data of the analytes can be obtained. Such sensors need to be implanted into the subcutaneous target site, can perform continuous and real-time monitoring, and periodically upload data to the host computer or cloud server through an external transmitter.

[0003] A typical subcutaneous implantable sensor, such as a continuous glucose monitoring sensor, is a sensor implanted into subcutaneous tissue that can continuously measure the glucose concentration and changes in biological tissue fluid. When glucose in the tissue fluid diffuses around the sensor, the conversion functional sensitive unit of the sensor can convert the blood glucose concentration into an electrical signal and then digitize it for acquisition. After the data is processed by a certain algorithm, it can be displayed as the blood glucose concentration.

[0004] Currently, more and more continuous glucose sensors have abandoned the form of hard steel needles and adopted thin-film flexible microneedle sensors based on flexible substrates. The advantages of such flexible sensors are obvious and can provide a better user experience. Especially after implantation, the flexible microneedles can bend to a certain extent with the limb movement of the user, which can greatly reduce the physical damage to the implantation site and at the same time greatly relieve the foreign body sensation of the user. However, due to the softness of such flexible microneedle sensors, during the implantation process, their own strength cannot maintain the force to pierce the skin, resulting in their inability to be directly implanted into the subcutaneous site. The implantors and implantation methods applicable to hard steel needle sensors are no longer applicable.

[0005] Such flexible microneedle sensors often need to use an assistant needle device to achieve subcutaneous implantation. The internal of the described type of assistant needle device will have a hard, hollow, semi-open needle. The implantation process is generally as follows:

[0006] Before implantation, the sensor will be placed in the needle to protect the sensor from being damaged by extrusion, rubbing, etc. during implantation;

[0007] During implantation, the needle will pierce the patient's skin and then be inserted to an appropriate implantation depth. At this time, the sensor will enter under the skin together with the needle and reach the appropriate implantation depth;

[0008] Then, the position of the sensor will be fixed, and the needle will be retracted reversely and withdrawn outside the skin. The sensor will stay at the subcutaneous implantation site of the user while the needle is withdrawn.

[0009] The needle adopts a semi-open design to facilitate the withdrawal of the needle after implantation, avoiding the connection components at the rear end of the sensor and smoothly completing the needle withdrawal without pulling out the sensor together.

[0010] Related patents for this type of needle aid include, for example:

[0011] Analyte sensor, EP 2 499 969 B1; Medical device inserters and processes of inserting and using medical devices, EP3123934A1; Needle protection device for subcutaneous implantable sensors, CN104162205B; Subcutaneous implantable sensor inserter and method, CN107106090B; Needle aid for percutaneous implantable sensors and medical system, CN211704640U; Needle feeding and withdrawal mechanism and implant tool for an implant tool, CN110279422A; Elastic implant device for biosensor electrodes and its use method, CN108056778A; Implant device for a novel implantable biosensor, CN112450918A.

[0012] The above-mentioned needle aid with a rigid, hollow, semi-open needle solves the implantation problems of flexible microneedle subcutaneous implantable sensors or subcutaneous infusion catheters, but there are still inevitable problems and disadvantages:

[0013] The needle in this type of needle aid will significantly increase the size (such as the outer diameter) during the implantation of subcutaneous implantable sensors or devices. The needle often adopts a rigid, hollow structure to place the sensor in it, and it is necessary to ensure smooth sliding between the needle and the sensor. Therefore, its inner diameter needs to be larger than the diameter or maximum width of the sensor. Considering that the needle has a certain thickness, and due to mechanical strength requirements and process limitations, it is difficult to minimize the needle wall thickness. Therefore, when using this type of needle aid, the size of the outer diameter of the needle, that is, the size of the incision for puncturing the skin during implantation, is often more than 70% larger than the diameter of the sensor itself. For example, for a sensor with a diameter of 0.4mm, the inner diameter of the needle needs to be 0.5mm to ensure a certain sliding gap, and the needle wall thickness is 0.1mm. Therefore, the outer diameter of the needle needs to be 0.7mm, which is an additional 75% larger than the diameter of the sensor itself (0.4mm).

[0014] After the needle punctures the skin and implants, a needle withdrawal action is required. During the process of the needle withdrawing from the skin, it will inevitably cause secondary damage to the skin tissue, further expanding the wound surface, resulting in a higher risk of infection and difficulty in recovery. At the same time, the pain and discomfort caused by this needle withdrawal process will also greatly reduce the user experience.

[0015] During the process of needle retraction, there is a certain possibility that the sensor cannot slide smoothly inside the needle, so it will be pulled back by the needle, deviate from the target implantation position, and even exit outside the skin, resulting in implantation failure. And the user needs to perform implantation again, bringing an extremely bad user experience.

[0016] Based on the fact that the implantation process of such a needle assisting device is relatively complex and cumbersome, the needle assisting device has a complex internal structure. For example, the needle assisting device needs to have a space for accommodating the needle and a mechanical structure for fixing the needle; a mechanism structure for realizing needle retraction needs to be designed; the needle retraction needs to be as fast as possible and the angle needs to be stable, etc. Therefore, it is inevitable to increase its structural complexity, thereby increasing the probability of problems occurring during the implantation process. At the same time, it also increases the complexity of production and manufacturing, as well as the complexity of user use.

[0017] It is also due to the complex mechanical structure of such a needle assisting device that it will significantly increase the types and quantities of its components, thereby greatly increasing its production cost. Summary of the Invention
