Patent number: 11931146Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor configuration (1) for non-invasive measurement of parameters of a body tissue with a sensor unit (10) and a sensor mat (12) for detachable placement of the sensor configuration (1) on a body surface (20). Furthermore the sensor unit (10) of the sensor configuration (1) is connectible to a contact head (16), which is designed for electrical contacting of the sensor unit (10) and for supply of light from a light source to the sensor unit (10), the sensor unit (10) being designed as a flexible printed circuit board with optical components, at least comprising a light detector device (2), in order to detect light that is emitted into the body tissue and has passed through the latter, a first contact means (30) and conducting tracks (5) for operative connection of the sensor unit (10) to the contact head (16).Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: LUCIOLE MEDICAL AGInventors: Juerg Hans Froehlich, Fabian Schneider, Markus Hugo Muser, Marco Zahner, Dirk Baumann

Patent number: 10682100Abstract: A measurement system and method for measuring at least one parameter in a body tissue comprise at least one measurement device to be applied to the body, an optical unit for emitting light waves, wherein at least one wavelength of the light waves lies in the region of the absorption of a body parameter, at least one light guide between the optical unit and the measurement device in order to transmit light waves, and an evaluation unit for evaluating measurement waves. Light waves emitted by the optical unit can be beamed into an optical measurement volume in the body tissue by means of the measurement device, and measurement waves received by the measurement device from the measurement volume can be transmitted from the body tissue to the evaluation unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Luciole Medical AGInventors: Markus Hugo Muser, Juerg Hans Froehlich, Dirk Baumann

Patent number: 10022089Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for noninvasive measurement of parameters of a bodily tissue, the measuring device having a sensor unit and a sensor mat for detachable placement of the device on a body surface. The sensor unit (1) has a receptacle (6), the interior of which accommodates a sensor arrangement, wherein the receptacle (6) has a sensor surface (15) in the direction of the body surface. The sensor mat (8) has a cutout (11) for accommodating the sensor unit (1) and a contact surface (14), at least partially surrounding the sensor unit (1), for placement on the body surface (9). A cover (12) is provided for closing the cutout (11) over an upper side of the sensor unit (1) and the sensor mat (8) during a measurement of parameters. The sensor unit (1), the sensor mat (8) and the cover (12) are detachable from one another.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Luciole Medical AGInventors: Christophe Lechot, Jean-Claude Frely, Marcel Aeschlimann, Juerg Hans Froehlich, Dirk Baumann, Markus Hugo Muser, Michael Oberle

Patent number: 9668681Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device and to a method for measuring parameters of a body tissue using an elongate probe (1) for insertion into the body tissue, comprising at least one optical waveguide (2) for transmitting light beams that runs along the longitudinal axis of the probe within the probe, an exit region (5) from which light beams emitted from the optical waveguide exit into the body tissue, and at least one receiving region (6) through which light beams reflected and/or scattered in the body tissue enter the probe as input light beams on a photodetector or in an optical waveguide (2; 3). The exit region (5) is provided at the distal end of the probe (1) and is oriented at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the probe (1). At least some of the emitted light beams exit the probe in the longitudinal direction of the probe. The at least one receiving region (6) is located at a distance from the distal end of the probe on a lateral circumferential region of the probe.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: NeMoDevices AGInventors: Jürg Hans Fröhlich, Markus Hugo Muser
