Abstract

Devices are provided for measurement of an analyte concentration, e.g., glucose in a host. The device can include a sensor configured to generate a signal associated with a concentration of an analyte; and a sensing membrane located over the sensor. The sensing membrane comprises a diffusion resistance domain configured to control a flux of the analyte therethrough. The diffusion resistance domain comprises one or more zwitterionic compounds and a base polymer comprising both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.

Claims (31)

1. A device for measurement of a concentration of an analyte, the device comprising:

a sensor configured to generate a signal associated with the concentration of the analyte; and

a sensing membrane located over the sensor, the sensing membrane comprising:

bioprotective layer, wherein the bioprotective layer comprises a base polymer and one or more zwitterionic compounds, wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise a betaine compound or derivative thereof, wherein the base polymer comprises both a hard segment and a soft segment, the one or more zwitterionic compounds being covalently bonded to the base polymer.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the one or more zwitterionic compounds in the bioprotective layer is less than about 10% wt. of the bioprotective layer.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the one or more zwitterionic compounds in the bioprotective layer is less than about 5% wt. of the bioprotective layer.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl betaine compound, a sulfa betaine compound, a phosphor betaine compound, and derivatives thereof.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cocamidopropyl betaine, oleamidopropyl betaine, octyl sulfobetaine, caprylyl sulfobetaine, lauryl sulfobetaine, myristyl sulfobetaine, palmityl sulfobetaine, stearyl sulfobetaine, betaine(trimethylglycine), octyl betaine, phosphatidylcholine, glycine betaine, poly(carboxybetaine), poly(sulfobetaine), and derivatives thereof.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of poly(carboxybetaine), poly(sulfobetaine), and derivatives thereof.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing membrane further comprises an enzyme domain comprising an enzyme selected from the group consisting of glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, galactose oxidase, cholesterol oxidase, amino acid oxidase, alcohol oxidase, lactate oxidase, and uricase.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the enzyme is glucose oxidase.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the base polymer comprises a polyether-urethane-urea copolymer, a polycarbonate-urethane copolymer, a polyether-urethane copolymer, a silicone-polyether-urethane copolymer, a silicone-polycarbonate-urethane copolymer, a polyester-urethane copolymer, or a mixture thereof.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the base polymer comprises the polycarbonate-urethane copolymer.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the analyte comprises glucose.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the bioprotective layer further comprises a polymer containing fluorine.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the polymer includes from about 1% to about 25% fluorine by weight.

14. A device for measurement of a concentration of an analyte, the device comprising:

a sensor configured to generate a signal associated with the concentration of the analyte; and

a sensing membrane located over the sensor, the sensing membrane comprising:

a diffusion resistance domain configured to control a flux of the analyte therethrough,

a bioprotective domain wherein the bioprotective domain comprises a polyurethane base polymer, and wherein the polyurethane base polymer comprises a soft segment and a hard segment; and one or more zwitterionic compounds, precursors, or derivatives thereof being covalently bonded to the base polymer.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the zwitterionic monomer is a carboxyl betaine compound, a sulfa betaine compound, a phosphor betaine compound, or derivatives thereof.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the base polymer comprises a reaction product of a zwitterionic monomer with an isocyanate.

17. The device of claim 14 , wherein the polyurethane base polymer is a polyurethane copolymer comprising a polyether-urethane-urea copolymer, a polycarbonate-urethane copolymer, a polyether-urethane copolymer, a silicone-polyether-urethane copolymer, a silicone-polycarbonate-urethane copolymer, a polyester-urethane copolymer, or a mixture thereof.

18. The device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise a betaine compound or derivative thereof.

19. The device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl betaine compound, a sulfa betaine compound, a phosphor betaine compound, and derivatives thereof.

20. The device of claim 14 , wherein the sensing membrane further comprises an enzyme domain comprising an enzyme selected from the group consisting of glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, galactose oxidase, cholesterol oxidase, amino acid oxidase, alcohol oxidase, lactate oxidase, and uricase.

21. The device of claim 14 , wherein the analyte comprises glucose.

22. The device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more zwitterionic compounds, precursors, or derivatives thereof of the bioprotective domain comprises from 0.1 wt. % to about 5% wt. % of the bioprotective domain.

23. The device of claim 1 , wherein the base polymer comprises a reaction product of a zwitterionic monomer with an isocyanate.

24. The device of claim 1 , wherein the zwitterionic monomer is a carboxyl betaine compound, a sulfa betaine compound, a phosphor betaine compound, or derivatives thereof.
