IMPLANTABLE MEASURING UNIT FOR INTRACORPOREAL MEASUREMENT OF PATIENT DATA

摘要

The invention relates to an implantable measuring unit for the intracorporeal measurement of patient data, in particular intracranial pressures and is for mobile, everyday use. The invention is an application of addition to DE 196 38 813.9. Implantable measuring units usually have a cable connection between the sensor and the transmission unit. These cable connections are however very complex to create and susceptible to error. The implantation also demands great skill from the doctor since the cables cannot be slid under the skin and can twist and break during implantation. The sensor element (1) and telemetry unit (2) are set on a flexible film (3) which has conductor paths to electrically connect the sensor element (1) and the telemetry unit (2) .The measuring unit is intended to be used for medical purposes, mainly for measuring intracranial pressure.
