  • CATALYTIC REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES SCAVENGER HYDROGEL
    Publication number: 20230293064
    Abstract: A medical device (e.g., an analyte sensor) that may be implanted within a living animal (e.g., a human) and may be used to measure an analyte (e.g., glucose or oxygen) in a medium (e.g., interstitial fluid, blood, or intraperitoneal fluid) within the animal. The medical device may include a polymer covering at least a portion of a surface of the medical device and a plurality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger molecules covalently linked to the polymer (e.g., to reduce degradation of an analyte indicator including the polymer).

  • MEDIATION OF IN VIVO ANALYTE SIGNAL DEGRADATION
    Publication number: 20230068818
    Abstract: A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) that may be implanted within a living animal (e.g., a human) and may be used to measure an analyte (e.g., glucose or oxygen) in a medium (e.g., interstitial fluid, blood, or intraperitoneal fluid) within the animal. The sensor may include a sensor housing, an analyte indicator covering at least a portion of the sensor housing, and one or more compounds containing boronate or boronic acid moieties that reduce degradation of the analyte indicator.
