1. A continuous analyte sensor configured for in vivo use, the continuous analyte sensor comprising:
an elongated conductive body comprising:
a substrate comprising a non-rectangular cross section;
a first electrode disposed on the substrate, wherein the first electrode is a working electrode;
a second electrode disposed on the substrate;
a first conductive pathway connecting the first electrode to sensor electronics;
a second conductive pathway connecting the second electrode to sensor electronics; and
a membrane covering at least a portion of the working electrode, wherein the elongated conductive body has a yield strength from about 60 kPsi (413 MPa) to about 319 kPsi (2200 MPa).
