Abstract
Biointerface membranes are provided which can be utilized with implantable devices, such as devices for the detection of analyte concentrations in a biological sample. More particularly, methods for monitoring glucose levels in a biological fluid sample using an implantable analyte detection device incorporating such membranes are provided.
Claims20
An analyte sensing device adapted for implantation into a host's tissue, comprising:
- a sensor configured to measure an analyte in a host, wherein the sensor comprises a biointerface configured to promote at least one function selected from the group consisting of increasing fluid bulk surrounding at least a portion of the sensor in vivo, increasing bulk fluid flow surrounding at least a portion of the sensor in vivo, and increasing diffusion rates surrounding at least a portion of the sensor in vivo.
