Abstract
A system for inserting at least a portion of an insertion set through the surface of a tissue, having: an inserter with a moveable plunger disposed within a cavity therein; an insertion set holder received into the distal end of the cavity; and an insertion set received into the insertion set holder, wherein the insertion set is moveable within the insertion set holder such that when the plunger is advanced into contact with the insertion set, the insertion set advances through the insertion set holder to a position at which at least a portion of the insertion set extends out of the distal end of the cavity.
Claims13
An inserter for inserting at least a portion of an insertion set through the surface of a tissue, comprising:
- a housing having a cavity therein, wherein the distal end of the cavity is adapted to receive a holder for an insertion set therein, the holder being adapted for slidable motion of the insertion set therein;
- and a moveable plunger disposed within the cavity for advancing the insertion set within the holder, wherein the plunger is moveable from a proximal position away from the insertion set to a distal position in contact with the insertion set.
A system for inserting at least a portion of an insertion set through the surface of a tissue, comprising:
- an inserter with a moveable plunger disposed within a cavity therein;
- and an insertion set holder received into the distal end of the cavity;
- and an insertion set received into the insertion set holder, wherein the insertion set is moveable within the insertion set holder such that when the plunger is advanced into contact with the insertion set, the insertion set advances through the insertion set holder to a position at which at least a portion of the insertion set extends out of the distal end of the cavity.
