Abstract:
1. A transcutaneous electrochemical sensor comprising: a substrate having a proximal end portion having a width defined by a first side and a second side, and a distal end portion having a width defined by a third side and a fourth side, the width being less than the width of the proximal end portion, the distal end portion of the distal end portion being adjacent to the proximal end portion and extending therefrom; at least one contact pad located on the proximal end portion; and at least one conductive trace located on the distal end portion and the proximal end portion such that the at least one conductive trace electrically communicates with the at least one contact pad, wherein the first side and third side together form a continuous straight edge, and wherein the second side and the fourth side do not form a continuous straight edge.
