Bio-sensors such as EKG/ECG electrodes, glucose test strips and pads for drug delivery manufactured by using combinations of silver, silver-silver chloride, carbon and dielectric inks printed on thin film polyester.
The biosensors technically works with a biological component called bio-sensor, deposited on subtract which can transform a specific biological reaction, happened between the biological component and the batter in a signal that can be therefore observed and measured.
Electrodes and bio-sensors are complex and sensitive requiring extensive quality systems and statistical process control.
Printed electrodes are widely used in medical devices, a highly regulated and quality-driven industry that can present a number of design and production challenges.
Medical electronic products need absolute reliability and printed electronics offer this as well as patient comfort, less invasiveness and can be disposable.
The ability to offer remote diagnostic in a cost effective form is driving the medical industry to develop more products based on printed electronics.
