Glucose Biosensor Encasement with Interlocking Membrane Segments

The membrane structure is divided into multiple segments including a base membrane layer, a glucose limiting membrane, and an interlocking segment. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function while the interlocking segment prevents peeling by creating a mechanical connection between layers, thus maintaining membrane integrity and preventing edge lifting that would otherwise occur with a single continuous membrane structure.

The glucose sensor is nested within a cavity formed by the interlocking segments of the membrane layers. The sensing element is positioned within the undercut region of the interlocking segment, creating a nested structure where the sensor is protected by the encapsulating membranes. This nesting approach maintains the protective enclosure while preventing membrane peeling through the interlocking mechanism.

The membrane is segmented into a base layer, a glucose limiting membrane, and an interlocking segment that creates a mechanical bond between layers. This segmentation prevents edge peeling that would otherwise occur, thereby extending the usable life of the sensor by maintaining structural integrity throughout the sensor's operational lifetime.

The membrane structure uses composite construction with a base membrane layer and a glucose limiting membrane with different properties. The interlocking segment creates a composite structure that combines the protective benefits of multiple membrane types while preventing delamination and edge lifting, thus extending sensor durability and usable life.

The membrane is divided into functional segments including a base layer, a glucose limiting membrane, and an interlocking segment with an undercut configuration. This segmentation provides the necessary mechanical interlock to prevent peeling while keeping each segment's design relatively simple and focused on a single function, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

The interlocking segments are formed from thin membrane films that maintain flexibility while providing the mechanical interlock needed to prevent peeling. The undercut configuration of the interlocking segment creates an effective mechanical bond without requiring thick or rigid structures, thus adding minimal complexity to the overall membrane design while achieving the desired stability.
