Catheter type sensor.

摘要

A catheter type sensor, which, in use is inserted into a living body directly to measure biological data such as blood pressure, has a base (23) in its distal end, one sensor element (21) supported on the base (23) and lead wires (33) for electrically connecting together the sensor element (21) and an external measuring device. The base (23), the sensor element (21) and the lead wires (33) are buried in a resin material (39) which is compatible with living tissue and which is formed into the shape of a catheter. Accordingly, the whole of the cross-sectional area of the catheter can be used as a space for mounting the sensor assembly constituted by the base (23), the sensor element (21) and the lead wires (33).
