Research abstract
We will develop a miniature electrochemical oxygen sensor of a three electrode design. The sensor wfabricated within the bore of a small (28 gauge, .23 mm ID) hypodermic needle. The device will be prcellulose acetate membrane fabricated by proprietary techniques. The device will be capable of contioxygen and is intended for insertion in flap or free muscle transplants after reconstructive surgerypreviously developed technology that has not been publically disclosed. New construction techniquessize and fragility issues will be developed. Laboratory studies will be performed using oxygenationevaluation and calf serum to test for resistance of the sensor to contamination by the interstitialultimate operating environment.
