Abstract: A measuring system for measurement of patient data inside a patient's body includes a flexible foil for implantation into the patient's body. At least one sensor is arranged on the flexible foil. A first telemetry unit is also arranged on the flexible foil. The telemetry unit is provided for receiving an inductive power transmission and for transmitting data. Strip conductors electrically connect the at least one sensor element to the telemetry unit. Preferably, the at least one sensor includes a pressure sensor for sensing the patient's brain or cranial pressure. The at least one sensor may optionally include a temperature sensor the patient's brain temperature. A second telemetry unit is located outside the patient's body for receiving the data from the first telemetry unit and for transmitting the inductive power transmission to the first telemetry unit.

Abstract: A Measurement device for medical applications is disclosed, comprising an intracorporeal sensor element (5), a extracorporeal evaluation unit and electrical connections (2, 6) between the sensor element (5) and the evaluation unit. The device comprises a flexible foil tape cable (1), which is intended for the electrical and mechanical connection of the evaluation unit with the sensor element (5) and a substrate (4), which is mechanically connected with the one end (3) of the foil tape cable (1) around the sensor element (1). The substrate (4) has an higher mechanical strength than the foil tape cable (1). The sensor element (5) is connected to electric cables (2) of the flexible foil tape cable (1) and the substrate (4) is enclosed with the sensor element (5) in a flexible mass (7).
