CONTINUOUS ANALYTE SENSORS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME |
摘要 |
Described here are embodiments of processes and systems for the continuous manufacturing of implantable continuous analyte sensors. In some embodiments, a method is provided for sequentially advancing an elongated conductive body through a plurality of stations, each configured to treat the elongated conductive body. In some of these embodiments, one or more of the stations is configured to coat the elongated conductive body using a meniscus coating process, whereby a solution formed of a polymer and a solvent is prepared, the solution is continuously circulated to provide a meniscus on a top portion of a vessel holding the solution, and the elongated conductive body is advanced through the meniscus. The method may also comprise the step of removing excess coating material from the elongated conductive body by advancing the elongated conductive body through a die orifice. For example, a provided elongated conductive body (510) is advanced through a pre-coating treatment station (520), through a coating station 530, through a thickness control station (540), through a drying or curing station (550), through a thickness measurement station (560), and through a post-coating treatment station (570). |
