Article Synopsis
- - Tracking tissue oxygenation in chronic foot wounds could improve treatment for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by providing valuable insights for therapy decisions
- - A study using novel sensing technology on mini-pigs lasted 9 months and encountered no adverse effects during the monitoring process
- - The microsensors successfully detected both systemic and acute hypoxia, with a rapid average response time of 13 seconds for signal detection, showing they are safe for long-term oxygen monitoring
Development of a self-cleaning sensor membrane for implantable biosensors.
J Biomed Mater Res A
September 2009
Fibrous tissue encapsulation may slow the diffusion of the target analyte to an implanted sensor and compromise the optical signal. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels are thermoresponsive, exhibiting temperature-modulated swelling behavior that could be used to prevent biofouling. Unfortunately, PNIPAAm hydrogels are limited by poor mechanical strength.
