MicroCHIPS

MicroCHIPS' technology is based on proprietary reservoir arrays that are used to store and protect chemical sensors or potent drugs within the body for long periods of time. These arrays are designed for compatibility with preprogrammed microprocessors, wireless telemetry, or sensor feedback loops to provide active control. Individual device reservoirs can be opened on demand or on a predetermined schedule to precisely control drug release or sensor activation.

Our reservoir-based platform can also be used in passive control systems without microprocessors or power sources. MicroCHIPS' passive systems are designed to release or expose their contents based on the controlled degradation of polymeric matrices over time. These systems form the basis for miniature insertable devices that provide maximum flexibility for device placement.

Intellectual Property
MicroCHIPS' platform has technological foundations in microreservoir fabrication and control, long-term implantable technologies, and wireless communications as well as in protein and peptide formulations for challenging delivery conditions. Our intellectual property portfolio supports our platform technologies and commercial products in development and includes 25 issued United States patents and over 40 pending applications, as well as 19 issued international patents and 60 pending applications.
