A method for constructing an apparatus for the fixation of a sensor in a bodily lumen.

摘要

A method for constructing an apparatus for the fixation of a sensor in a bodily lumen comprises forming a mask, etching a flat design of both a fixation device 60 and a sensor support 62 onto a portion of material and coupling a first and a second end of the fixation device. The fixation device may be a stent. The material may be a thin sheet-metal, such as stainless-steel, or a bio-absorbable material. The first and second ends may be connected by welding.
