CA 2502144

The invention is directed to lead configurations for sensors that allow for less invasive sensor replacement procedures. In one configuration, a sensor lead assembly includes an outer lead body and an inner lead including a sensor such as an electrochemical glucose sensor. The inner lead can be positioned in an inner conduit of the outer lead body. The outer lead body may be substantially permanently implanted in the patient, and the inner lead can be implanted through the inner conduit of the outer lead body. Once the sensor of the inner lead has worn out or otherwise exhausted its useful life, the inner lead can be removed, and a new inner lead can be implanted in place of the old inner lead.

L'invention concerne des ensembles fils de capteurs rendant possibles des méthodes de remplacement moins effractives desdits capteurs. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'ensemble fil de capteur comprend un corps de fil extérieur et un fil intérieur équipé d'un capteur, tel qu'un capteur électrochimique de glucose. Le fil intérieur peut être logé dans un conduit intérieur du corps de fil extérieur. Le corps de fil extérieur peut être implanté sensiblement à demeure chez un patient, et le fil intérieur être mis en place au travers du conduit intérieur du corps de fil extérieur. Lorsque le capteur du fil intérieur est usé ou qu'il a atteint le terme de sa vie utile, le fil intérieur peut être retiré et remplacé par un fil intérieur neuf.
