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 glutar

β¦ Synopsis
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 implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of rabbits. Sensors implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of normal human subjects showed an excellent correlation between glucose concentrations measured by the sensor and capillary finger sticks measured with a commercial analyzer.

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
Miniature, amperometric glucose sensors were constructed for implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of normal and insulin-dependent diabetic subjects. To minimise dependence on fluctuating tissue oxygen tension, we employed the technology of mediated electron transfer, with 1,1'-dimethylferrocene a
## Abstract **Summary:** Implant failure is one of the major concerns in the biomaterials field. Several factors have been related to the fail but in general these biomaterials do not exhibit comparable physical, chemical or biological properties to natural tissues and ultimately, these devices can
