Abstract
An insertion device includes an insertion component that inserts a medical device into body tissue of a user. The insertion device also includes an insertion component retractor, a cap, a guide sleeve having a ramp, an insertion sleeve and an elastic member. For inserting the medical device, the cap, the insertion component retractor and the insertion sleeve are movable relative to the guide sleeve from a distal position to a proximal position. The ramp twists the insertion component retractor relative to the guide sleeve and the insertion sleeve when the cap is moved from its distal position to its proximal position. The cap is movable from its proximal position to its distal position and the insertion component retractor is thereby moved from its proximal position to its distal position. An associated method of using the insertion device is also disclosed.
