Title:
改良された検体センサ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3706387
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A sensor (400) and method of making the same for implantation in a body that includes a substrate (402) with notches (406) cut in the substrate to form a necked down region (412) in the substrate; and at least one sensor electrode (404) formed from one or more conductive layers. Preferably, the thickness of the substrate (402) ranges from approximately 25 mu to 350 mu , but the thickness of the substrate can range from 5 mu to 750 mu . The sensor may be incorporated into a sensor assembly including a slotted needle (408) having a slot (410). The notches (406) creating the necked down region (412) allow the substrate (402) to slide into the slotted needle, which has the slot narrow enough to permit passage of the necked down region. However, a non-necked down region (414) of the substrate is prevented from pulling out of the slotted needle (408) through the slot (410). The slot (410) of the slotted needle (408) may also permit the necked down region (412) of the substrate (402) to slide down the slot.
