An improved apparatus (10) and method for continously measuring cutaneous blood pressure is disclosed. A portion of cutaneous tissue, preferably from a digit such as a finger or toe, is isolated by an isolation ring (21), and a pressure sensing device (24) associated with the isolation ring (21) measures the changes in pressure in the isolated cutaneous tissue. The pressure sensing device (24) is connected to a hollow digit support member (12) by a transducer support member (22). |
