1. An insertion system, comprising:
a sensor configured to create its own wound channel having a proximal end and a distal end, where, in a first position, the proximal end and the distal end are substantially parallel to an insertion surface;
a sharp, in the first position, being positioned above the insertion surface;
a stationary deflector surface,
wherein the sensor transitions to a second position and, during the transition, movement is imparted to the sensor in a direction substantially parallel to the insertion surface causing the distal end to contact the stationary deflector surface, the transition includes negligible vertical movement of the proximal end throughout the transition, and cooperative insertion of the sensor and the sharp places the distal end beneath the insertion surface.
