  • Highly porous, bioresorbable electrospun sensors for optical detection of tissue oxygenation
    Patent number: 12648720
    Abstract: The present invention relates to highly porous, bioresorbable electrospun sensors for optical detection of tissue oxygenation and processes of making and using same. Multiple sensor compositions are described that are focused on different applications/oxygen ranges. Such sensors alleviate the risk of leaving the sensor implanted in a subject, typically have as good or better oxygen sensing capabilities and comparable performance life span as non-degradable sensors and unlike sensors made from general bioresorbable materials maintain a desired porosity as they degrade. Thus, such sensors may remain integrated in a subject's body while they degrade and maintain the ability to sense oxygen for their performance life span.
