IN VIVO OXYGEN TENSION MEASUREMENT

摘要

A sensor for use in detecting variable characteristics of a living body in-vivo, comprises an electrode assembly designed to be introduced into the body and having an exposed electrode coupled to a detecting measuring circuit, and an electrical heater in proximity to and embedded in a synthetic plastic body of the electrode. The heater is alternatively operable to heat the electrode whilst in use as a sensor or to heat the plastic body to cure it during manufacture.
