Title: Francisco J. Chaparro and Bioresorbable Oxygen-Sensing Technology

Introduction

Francisco J. Chaparro is an inventor associated with Phoenix, Arizona. His patent work concerns bioresorbable sensors designed to detect oxygen levels in tissue, an area of innovation relevant to monitoring tissue oxygenation.

Latest Patents

Chaparro is credited with 1 patent: “Highly Porous, Bioresorbable Electrospun Sensors for Optical Detection of Tissue Oxygenation.” The invention describes porous, electrospun sensors made from bioresorbable materials, along with methods for making and using them. The sensors are designed to maintain useful porosity as they degrade and to provide oxygen-sensing performance over their intended service life. Because they can be absorbed by the body, they may reduce concerns associated with leaving a sensor implanted after its monitoring role is complete. The patent also describes sensor compositions tailored to different applications and oxygen ranges.

Career Highlights

Chaparro’s listed patent is assigned to the United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the Air Force. The invention highlights an approach to combining optical oxygen detection with materials designed to degrade within the body.

Collaborations

Kayla F. Presley and Tod A. Grusenmeyer are identified as Chaparro’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Francisco J. Chaparro’s patent work focuses on bioresorbable electrospun sensors intended to monitor tissue oxygenation while maintaining sensing capability as they degrade.
