Abstract

The invention concerns an inserter device for inserting a medical device into the subcutaneous or intramuscular area of a patient. More specifically, this invention relates to an inserter device comprising means for providing a controlled and defined acceleration and deceleration of a penetrating member. The inserter device (200, 500) according to the invention comprises a housing (201, 221, 251; 501, 502, 503) encompassing said penetrating member (105, 243), a rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) and driving means (203, 561) for rotating the rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) around a rotating axis. The rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) comprises transformation means (216, 246, 521) transforming the rotational movement into a longitudinal movement of the penetrating member (105, 243) in the direction of insertion and the transformation means (226, 246, 521) comprises controlling means providing a controlled variation of the velocity of the penetrating member (105, 243) in the direction of insertion.
