PURPOSE: An anchoring mechanism for implantable telemetric medical sensor is provided to be capable of various medical applications including the measurement of a parameter within a patient's body, particularly an organ. CONSTITUTION: An implantable medical device comprises a housing(52) having a proximal end and a distal end and having a longitudinal axis, the first set of anchoring members operatively connected to the proximal end of the housing, the second set of anchoring members operatively connected to the distal end of the housing. The first set of anchoring members and the second set of anchoring members are movable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. The collapsed position is defined as a position whereby the first set of anchoring members and the second set of anchoring members are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing and the deployed position is defined as a position whereby the first set of anchoring members and the second set of anchoring members are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing, and wherein each anchoring member of the first set of anchoring members and the second set of anchoring members comprise a ring member, each ring member having a tissue engaging surface thereon.
