1. A sensor system for measuring an analyte concentration, the sensor system comprising:
a base having a distal side configured to face towards a skin of a host;
a first adhesive coupled to the base and configured to couple the base to the skin;
a transmitter coupled to the base and configured to transmit analyte measurement data;
a transcutaneous analyte measurement sensor coupled to the base and configured to be bent against the first adhesive or the base after removal of the base from the skin; and
a surface configured to bend at least a portion of the sensor towards the base after removal of the sensor from the host, wherein a distal tip of the sensor is located between the base and the surface.
