APPARAT OCH SETT FOR KONTINUERLIG METNING AV KUTANT BLODTRYCK

摘要

Apparatus and method for continuously measuring cutaneous blood pressure is disclosed. A portion of cutaneous tissue, preferably covering a digit such as a finger, is isolated and a pressure sensing device, such as a strain gauge, measures the changes in pressure in the isolated cutaneous tissue. The pressure sensing device is mounted on a stable platform fixed relative to the cutaneous tissue of the digit.
