# 2022 FormaCyte |
Traditional insulin treatment for diabetes is difficult for patients to manage, meaning frequent, of-ten fatal, loss of healthy blood glucose control
FormaCyte’s revolutionary implant offers optimum blood glucose control by providing sustainable insulin delivery without the need for toxic immunosuppressants. The device encapsulates insulin-secreting cells inside a semipermeable membrane which can automatically sense the blood glucose level and release insulin in an appropriate amount. The design also improves oxygen access to cells by manipulating their spatial arrangement.
