Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, and in particular to a reinforcement patch for a dynamic blood glucose meter. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical auxiliary devices, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reinforcement patches play a crucial role in ensuring the stable adhesion of portable blood glucose meters to the skin. However, current CGM reinforcement patches on the market have revealed several problems in actual use, mainly focusing on poor reinforcement effectiveness and inconvenience in use.

[0003] In terms of reinforcement effectiveness, existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) support patches fail to ensure the meter stays firmly attached to the skin during various daily activities. Firstly, some patches use materials with insufficient adhesiveness, making them prone to loosening or detachment when the skin is sweaty, oily, or during light exercise. This disrupts the meter's ability to continuously and stably collect data, severely impacting the accuracy and continuity of blood glucose monitoring. For example, some users have noticed the meter shifting after simple housework or short periods of outdoor activity, leading to inaccurate measurements. Secondly, the existing support patch design is inadequate, failing to provide comprehensive and stable support for the meter. Most patches rely solely on simple adhesive to hold the meter in place, failing to effectively distribute stress when subjected to pulling forces, making the meter prone to detachment and significantly reducing the user experience.

[0004] In terms of ease of use, existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reinforcing patches also have significant shortcomings. Many reinforcing patches have poorly designed release liner, making them difficult to remove. For example, the release liner is too tightly attached to the patch, or the release liner lacks an easy-to-tear structure, requiring users to spend considerable time and effort to peel it off. Improper force may even damage the patch or cause uneven adhesion, affecting the reinforcing effect. Furthermore, some reinforcing patches are not designed with the needs and operating habits of different users in mind. For instance, for elderly people or people with disabilities who have limited hand dexterity, existing reinforcing patches are difficult to use, making it hard to accurately fix the glucose meter in the correct position. Moreover, existing CGM reinforcing patches also have shortcomings in packaging and storage, making them susceptible to compression and deformation during transportation and storage, leading to problems during use.

[0005] In conclusion, existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) support patches have significant room for improvement in terms of both reinforcement effectiveness and ease of use. A new design solution is urgently needed to address these issues and meet users' needs for stable fixation and convenient operation of the glucose meter. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reinforcement patch for a dynamic blood glucose meter, which can be used to reinforce a portable blood glucose meter applied to the skin, and has the effects of being easy to use and having a good reinforcement effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this technical solution provides a reinforcement patch for a dynamic blood glucose meter, comprising: an easy-tear release paper, wherein the easy-tear release paper is composed of a first tear-out portion and a second tear-out portion, and the junction of the first tear-out portion and the second tear-out portion forms a tear notch and a pre-positioning hole; and a patch applied to the easy-tear release paper, the patch comprising an adhesive adhesion area and a reinforcing area located inside the adhesion area, wherein the adhesion area includes a pre-positioning area exposed to the pre-positioning hole and a fully positioning area adhered to the easy-tear release paper.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution has the following characteristics and beneficial effects:

[0009] This solution incorporates an easy-tear release liner with a notch design to facilitate application of force while reducing the difficulty of tearing. A reinforcing zone surrounding the application hole, made of a material with lower elasticity than the pre-positioning area, restricts movement of the pre-positioning area and reinforces the blood glucose meter. This ensures reinforcement while preventing excessive stickiness that hinders removal and avoids waste due to excessive size. Additional release liner, applied to the exposed pre-positioning area and at least covering the pre-positioning hole (some also include an easy-tear release liner), effectively protects the patch from contamination and damage during transportation and storage, ensuring product quality.

Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this solution provides a reinforcement patch for a continuous glucose monitoring device, including:

[0019] Easy-tear release paper 12, wherein the easy-tear release paper 12 is composed of a first tearing part 121 and a second tearing part 122, and the junction of the first tearing part 121 and the second tearing part 122 forms a tearing notch 123 and a pre-positioning hole 120.

[0020] A patch 20 is applied to an easy-tear release paper 12. The patch 20 consists of an adhesive area 22 and a reinforcing area 21 located inside the adhesive area 22. The adhesive area 22 includes a prepositioning area 221 exposed to a prepositioning hole 120 and a full positioning area 220 adhered to the easy-tear release paper 12.

[0021] Regarding the easy-tear release paper 12 in this solution:

[0022] To facilitate the application of the patch 20 to human skin for reinforcing the blood glucose meter, the first tear-off portion 121 and the second tear-off portion 122 of the easy-tear release paper 12 are connected to form a pre-positioning hole 120. The size of the pre-positioning hole 120 is smaller than the size of the patch 20. When the patch 20 is applied to the easy-tear release paper 12, the pre-positioning area 221 is exposed to the pre-positioning hole 120. The advantage of this design is that the patch 20 exposed to the pre-positioning hole 120 can be applied to the blood glucose meter first to achieve a pre-positioning effect, and then the remaining part of the adhesion area 22 can be exposed to the blood glucose meter by tearing the first tear-off portion 121 and the second tear-off portion 122, achieving a stable and reinforcing effect.

[0023] Furthermore, to facilitate the separation of the first tearing portion 121 and the second tearing portion 122, when the first tearing portion 121 and the second tearing portion 122 are in contact, two tearing notches 123 are formed on opposite sides of the pre-positioning hole 120. The advantage of this arrangement is that the first tearing portion 121 or the second tearing portion 122 can be separated individually, while also facilitating the separation of the remaining second tearing portion 122 or the first tearing portion 121.

[0024] Preferably, the two tearing notches 123 formed by the first tearing portion 121 and the second tearing portion 122 are located in the radial direction of the prepositioning hole 120, that is, the two tearing notches 123 divide the area of ​​the prepositioning hole 120 into two.

[0025] In order to facilitate the separation of the first tearing part 121 and the second tearing part 122 and reduce unnecessary material waste, the tearing notch 123 formed between the first tearing part 121 and the second tearing part 122 is a non-linear notch.

[0026] Specifically, the tearing notch 123 formed between the first tearing portion 121 and the second tearing portion 122 is curved or zigzag-shaped. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the tearing notch 123 formed between the first tearing part 121 and the second tearing part 122 of this solution includes at least one protruding end and a recessed end that are connected to each other, so as to facilitate the user to tear.

[0027] In some embodiments, the tear notch 123 is a tear line extending from the edge of the easy-tear release paper 12 to the pre-positioning hole 120, which is equivalent to a "solid line" configuration. Of course, in other embodiments, the tear notch 123 is a tear line that intermittently extends from the edge of the easy-tear release paper 12 to the pre-positioning hole 120, which is equivalent to a "dashed line" configuration.

[0028] In addition, to facilitate users to quickly locate the tear notch 123, this solution provides at least one notch indicator 124 on the first tear section 121 and the second tear section 122 of the easy-tear release paper 12 near the tear notch 123.

[0029] In some embodiments, the notch indication position 124 is a recessed limit setting relative to the side recess of the first tear portion 121 and the second tear portion 122, and may be a concave circle or other shape.

[0030] Regarding patch 20 in this solution:

[0031] The adhesion area 22 is divided into a full positioning area 220 and a pre-positioning area 221. When the patch 20 is applied to the easy-tear release paper 12, the full positioning area 220 is applied to the first tear-off part 121 and the second tear-off part 122, and the pre-positioning area 221 is exposed to the pre-positioning hole 120.

[0032] It should be noted that the full positioning area 220 and the pre-positioning area 221 on the adhesion area 22 are both made of adhesive materials. In some embodiments, the full positioning area 220 and the pre-positioning area 221 are integrally formed.

[0033] In some embodiments, a patch hole 200 is provided on the pre-positioning area 221, wherein the shape and size of the patch hole 200 match the shape and size of the blood glucose meter. When the user uses the dynamic blood glucose meter reinforcement patch, the patch hole 200 on the pre-positioning area 221 can be placed on the blood glucose meter, and the blood glucose meter can be pre-positioned using the pre-positioning area 221. Then, the full positioning area 220 is exposed by peeling off the easy-tear release paper 12.

[0034] In some embodiments, the reinforcement area 21 is located on the prepositioning area 221 at the edge closest to the patch hole 200, that is, the reinforcement area 21 is arranged around the edge of the patch hole 200. The advantage of this arrangement is that when the patch 20 is reinforced on the blood glucose meter, the reinforcement area 21 can be positioned closest to the blood glucose meter.

[0035] In some embodiments, the reinforcing region 21 is made of a material with lower elasticity than the adhesion region 22. Therefore, when the patch 20 is applied to the blood glucose meter, the reinforcing region 21 located in the inner ring of the patch 20 has lower elasticity, which can restrict the movement of the adhesion region 22 in the outer ring, thereby playing a role in assisting reinforcement and improving the reinforcement effect.

[0036] Preferably, the reinforcing region 21 is made of PET material, and the adhesive region 22 is made of medical adhesive tape material.

[0037] Furthermore, since the adhesiveness of the reinforcing region 21 is lower than that of the adhesion region 22, the area of ​​the reinforcing region 21 should not be too large. In some embodiments, the reinforcing region 21 is disposed around the application hole 200 and the width of the reinforcing region 21 is 0.5 to 1 mm.

[0038] It should be noted that when the patch 20 is applied to the easy-tear release paper 12, the center of the application hole of the patch 20 overlaps with the center of the prepositioning hole 221. This has the advantage of facilitating the subsequent separation of the first tear-off part 121 and the second tear-off part 122.

[0039] In some embodiments, the patch 20 has a length or width of 20 to 120 mm, the reinforcing area 21 has a thickness of 0.025 to 1 mm, the application hole 200 has a length or width of 8 to 50 mm, and the prepositioning hole 120 has a length or width of 10 to 50 mm.

[0040] In some embodiments, the patch 20, the application hole 200, and the pre-positioning hole 120 are all circular holes. In this case, the diameter of the patch 20 is 20–120 mm, the diameter of the application hole 200 is 8–50 mm, and the diameter of the pre-positioning hole 120 is 10–50 mm. It should be noted that the portable blood glucose meter has its own application strip. When the portable blood glucose meter is applied to the surface of human skin, the application hole 200 is fitted onto the blood glucose meter, and the width of the reinforcing area 21 is smaller than the width of the application strip. The pre-positioning area 221 and the reinforcing area 21 are both applied to the application strip, and the remaining portion of the pre-positioning area 221 is applied to the human skin.

[0041] Since the pre-positioning area 221 of the patch 20 is exposed to the pre-positioning hole 120, in order to facilitate the transportation and storage of the continuous glucose monitoring device reinforcement patch, such as Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcement patch for the continuous glucose monitoring device in this solution additionally includes an attachment release paper 11, which is attached to the prepositioning area 221 and at least covers the prepositioning hole 120.

[0042] In some embodiments, the release liner 11 is applied to the prepositioning area 221 and covers a portion of the tear-off release liner 12, without covering the entire area of ​​the tear-off release liner 12. This has the advantage of further saving the amount of release liner 11 used.

[0043] It should be noted that both the attached release paper 11 and the easy-tear release paper 12 are adhered to the adhesive side of the patch 20. The full positioning area 220 of the patch 20 is adhered to the first tear portion 121 and the second tear portion 122 of the easy-tear release paper 12, while the pre-positioning area 221 exposed to the pre-positioning hole 120 is adhered to the attached release paper 11. When it is necessary to use... Figure 4 When applying the reinforcement patch for the continuous glucose monitoring device, first peel off the release paper 11 to expose the pre-positioning area 221 located in the pre-positioning hole 120. The reinforcement patch for the continuous glucose monitoring device after peeling off the release paper 11 is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the patch 20 is then positioned with the application hole 200 corresponding to the position of the blood glucose meter and applied around the blood glucose meter. At this time, the pre-positioning area 221 plays a role in pre-positioning adhesion. Then, the first tear-off part 121 and the second tear-off part 122 are peeled off to apply the full positioning area 220 to the skin to achieve full positioning adhesion of the blood glucose meter.

[0044] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
