- the present invention relates to a needle type sensor unit having a needle type sensor.
- an analyte of body fluid or blood in the body that is, a sensor unit for measuring the concentration of the substance to be measured is inserted and placed in the body.
- the short-term indwelling needle sensor continuously measures the concentration of the analyte in the body for a predetermined period, for example, one week.
- US Pat. No. 7,003336 discloses a needle-type sensor unit 101 in which a needle-type sensor 130 having a sensor portion 110 at the tip is inserted into a slot 150 that is a sheath tube. ing.
- the needle-type sensor unit 101 includes a sensor of the needle-type sensor 130 by removing the slot 150 from the subject 90 after the slot 150 and the needle-type sensor 130 are punctured into the subject 90. Part 110 is placed in the body.
- the size D91 of the hole 91 formed in the subject 90 by puncturing the slot 150 is substantially equal to the outer dimension of the slot 150. That is, the size D91 of the hole 91 is larger than the outer dimension D110 of the needle sensor 130. For this reason, at the start of use, that is, immediately after the slot 150 is removed, the sensor unit 110 of the needle sensor 130 is not in contact with the surrounding tissue inside the hole 91. Since the hole 91 gradually contracts due to biological activity, the sensor unit 110 eventually comes into contact with surrounding tissue.
- the sensor unit 110 detects an analyte by contact with a body fluid or the like that has oozed into the hole 91 even in a non-contact state with the tissue.
- the non-contact state is more responsive to changes in the analyte concentration than the contact state.
- the contact state may be temporarily changed from the non-contact state. For this reason, the needle-type sensor 130 may not be easily measured for a while from the start of use.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a needle type sensor capable of performing stable measurement from the start of use and a needle type sensor unit having the needle type sensor.
- the needle sensor includes a main body portion, a connector portion provided on a proximal end side of the main body portion, and a sensor portion for measuring an analyte concentration provided on a distal end side of the main body portion.

- the needle-type sensor unit 1 includes a sensor 30 and a sheath tube 50 for puncturing.
- the sheath tube 50 is a hollow so-called outer needle having a sharp tip, and is an auxiliary tool for puncturing the subject with the sensor 30. That is, the sheath tube 50 has at least the distal end portion 32 of the sensor 30 in the hollow portion. The subject is punctured in a state in which it is accommodated. And before starting the measurement of the analyte concentration, the sensor tube 30 is left in the body and the sheath tube 50 is removed.
- the sensor 30 includes a distal end portion 32, a main body portion 33 extending from the distal end portion 32, and a connector portion 35 extending from the main body portion 33.
- the distal end portion 32, the main body portion 33, and the connector portion 35 are produced, for example, by processing a silicon substrate.
- the boundary between the distal end portion 32 and the main body portion 33 may not be clear.
- a region where the sensor unit 10 at the tip of the sensor 30 is disposed is referred to as a tip 32.
- the elongate sheath tube 50 has a substantially C-shaped cross section in the direction perpendicular to the major axis, and has an elongated slit in the major axis direction.
- the dimensions d50 and dW50 of the hollow portion of the sheath tube 50 are larger than the outer dimensions D32 and DW32 of the distal end portion 32, respectively.
- the dimension of the hollow part and the outer dimension of the tip part 32 are cross-sectional dimensions (dimensions in plan view) in the direction perpendicular to the major axis, and the shape in plan view is a diameter in the case of a circle.
- the lengths are the lengths of the two sides, but for the sake of simplicity, the length of one side will be described as an example.
- the measurement surface of the light shielding layer 18 (see FIG. 7) of the sensor unit 10 for measuring the analyte concentration is exposed at a part of the front surface 32 of the sensor 30. Further, the outer peripheral surface on the opposite side across the surface of the sensor portion 10 of the tip portion 32 where the light shielding layer 18 is exposed and the central axis in the major axis direction, in other words, the outer peripheral surface on the back side with respect to the measurement surface of the sensor portion 10 A swelling layer 60 is disposed on the surface.
- the swelling layer 60 should just be arrange
- the swelling layer 60 swells by absorbing the liquid of the subject, that is, water in the body, but is in a dry and contracted state in a state where it is accommodated in the hollow portion of the sheath tube 50 for puncture. .
- the sensor 30 is used as the sensor system 2 in combination with the sensor main body 40 and the receiver 45. That is, the sensor system 2 includes a sensor 30, a sensor main body 40, and a receiver 45 that receives and stores a signal from the sensor main body 40.
