  1. STAR Applications • Glucose Sensor Implants – Controlling the Foreign Body Response • Reducing Catheter Infections • Wound Healing – Tissue Regeneration Scaffolds FBR Cath WH Animations shown are for Illustration only.

  2. Glucose Sensor Implants – Controlling the Foreign Body Response

  3. STAR sleeve becomes densely vascularized with minimal encapsulation, so sensor can maintain communication with the body Implanted sensors become encapsulated with dense fibrous tissue that isolates the implant from the surrounding body environment Glucose Sensor Implant Sensor with STAR Sleeve Sensor with STAR Sleeve Glucose signal Glucose signal Title Page

  4. Reducing Catheter Infections

  5. Catheters have poor sealing with the skin. This groove provides a pathway for bacteria, leading to infection. The edges of the epidermis heal by migrating inward to form a groove. Current antimicrobial cuffs provide only temporary protection. STAR forms a seal for a long-term barrier against infection. The skin integrates into STARcuff’s pores. Title Page

  6. Wound Healing – Tissue Regeneration Scaffolds

  7. Angiogenesis in STAR pores triggers growth of larger vessels between pellets, supporting faster and more complete healing. Injectable STAR pellets have the potential to accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring. Title Page
