  • Implantable non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor
    Patent number: 5469846
    Abstract: A non-enzymatic implantable blood glucose detector. The detector makes use of a non-reactive tin oxide semiconductor measurement electrode which is suitably energized by an electrical power source. Variations in current density at the measurement electrode are related to variations in glucose content of blood. The device also uses variable voltage to allow the electrode to be self-cleaning.
