Cleanroom processing techniques have been used to mass-produce flexible, electroenzymatic glucose sensors designed for implantation in subcutaneous tissue. In vitro characterization studies have shown the sensor's performance to be acceptable. Initial in vivo studies were conducted with the sensor i

β¦ Synopsis
The in-vivo behaviour of microfabricated GOD (glucose oxidase)/H2O2 glucose sensor implanted subcutaneously in normal anaesthetized rats has been studied. The sensor consists of a planar, three-electrode microcell, an enzyme membrane (glucose oxidase and bovine serum albumin cross-linked with glutaraldehyde) and an outer diffusion limiting polyurethane membrane. The sensor behaviour during hyperglycaemic (13.8 mM and 11.2 mM), euglycaemic (7.8 mM) and hypoglycaemic (3.5 mM) plateau levels was determined. The values of the in-vivo sensitivity (0.64 +/- 0.05 nA/mM) and background current (1.25 +/- 0.4 nA) were determined using a two-point calibration method and then used to calculate apparent subcutaneous glucose concentrations. The results show the presence of a good correlation between all the plasma glucose levels (G) and the apparent subcutaneous tissue concentrations (G'), with G' = 0.997.G - 0.066, r = 0.9782.

The oxygen effect on a glucose oxidase based implantable glucose sensor was investigated based on studies of tissue oxygen availability and demand for oxygen by the glucose sensor. In vitro measurements showed that the oxygen effect is directly related to the glucose sensor sensitivity and linearity

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that porous polyβLβlactic acid (PLLA) sensor coatings reduce fibrosis and promote blood microvessel formation in tissue adjacent to the sensor surface. Porous PLLA coatings were produced using ammonium bicarbonate as the gas foaming/s
