Two-Layer Artificial Skin Phantom for Evaluating Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor Insertion Capability

This technology concerns an artificial skin phantom and its manufacturing method, which can be used to evaluate the in-vivo sensor insertion capability of continuous glucose monitors and for product quality control.

There was a lack of realistic and controllable test environments capable of closely replicating human skin to evaluate the sensor performance of continuous glucose monitors.

This technology features a two-layer structure composed of a silicone skin layer and a gelatin subcutaneous fat layer, mimicking the elasticity of human skin to enhance the accuracy and reliability of sensor insertion capability evaluation.

Key Features:

• Two-layer phantom composed of a silicone skin layer and a gelatin subcutaneous fat layer
• Realization of a gelatin subcutaneous fat layer with an 8-14% (w/v) concentration
• Mimics actual skin conditions with a thickness of 5-30mm
• Utilized for evaluating continuous glucose monitor sensor insertion capability and for quality control
