PRESSURE SENSOR AND PRESSURE-SENSITIVE CATHETER

摘要

This pressure sensor comprises first and second holders (12, 13) and first strain sensors (14, 15). The first and second holders (12, 13), which are hollow, are laid out at a prescribed distance from each other in a first direction. At least one of the first strain sensors (14, 15) detects pressure in at least a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, one end of (each of) said first strain sensor(s) (14, 15) being held by the first holder (12) and the other end of (each of) said first strain sensor(s) (14, 15) being held by the second holder (13).
