Application module for a device for the repeated piercing of an organic tissue with: - a penetration device which has an operating mechanism and an arrangement of application tools (1, 2) each of which is connected to the operating mechanism and has a distal tool end which is formed for at least one application tool with a penetration device, whereby - by way of the operating mechanism the application tools (1, 2) can be displaced relative to each other between an initial position and a penetration position in that the at least one application tool and another application tool of the arrangement are moved relative to each other, and - during the relative movement the effect direction of an application force provided by the at least one application tool is counter to the effect direction of the application force provided by the other application tool such that when resolving into force components two force components result that are parallel but work in counter directions, these being one force component of the application force of the at least one application tool and a counter force component of the application force of the other application tool, and - a coupling device that is configured to connect to a mechanical actuation device, characterized in that viewed in the direction perpendicular to the application force provided by the at least one application tool as well as to that provided by the other application tool the at least one and the other application tool (1, 2) cross each other at least in the penetration position, namely in the area of the distal tool ends themselves or in the area of projection lines of the distal tool ends. - a penetration device which has an operating mechanism and an arrangement of application tools (1, 2) each of which is connected to the operating mechanism and has a distal tool end which is formed for at least one application tool with a penetration device, whereby - by way of the operating mechanism the application tools (1, 2) can be displaced relative to each other between an initial position and a penetration position in that the at least one application tool and another application tool of the arrangement are moved relative to each other, and - during the relative movement the effect direction of an application force provided by the at least one application tool is counter to the effect direction of the application force provided by the other application tool such that when resolving into force components two force components result that are parallel but work in counter directions, these being one force component of the application force of the at least one application tool and a counter force component of the application force of the other application tool, and - by way of the operating mechanism the application tools (1, 2) can be displaced relative to each other between an initial position and a penetration position in that the at least one application tool and another application tool of the arrangement are moved relative to each other, and - during the relative movement the effect direction of an application force provided by the at least one application tool is counter to the effect direction of the application force provided by the other application tool such that when resolving into force components two force components result that are parallel but work in counter directions, these being one force component of the application force of the at least one application tool and a counter force component of the application force of the other application tool, and - a coupling device that is configured to connect to a mechanical actuation device, characterized in that viewed in the direction perpendicular to the application force provided by the at least one application tool as well as to that provided by the other application tool the at least one and the other application tool (1, 2) cross each other at least in the penetration position, namely in the area of the distal tool ends themselves or in the area of projection lines of the distal tool ends.
