Abstract: An intraluminal sensing device is provided, which includes a guidewire to be positioned within a body lumen. The guidewire includes a core wire, a sensor configured to obtain medical data from the body lumen, and a sensor housing fixedly attached to the core wire. The sensor housing is a single component that defines an outer profile of the guidewire. The sensor housing includes a core wire lumen configured to receive the core wire through the entire length of the sensor housing such that a cross section of the core wire lumen completely surrounds a cross section of the core wire. The sensor housing also includes an open sensor cavity (different from the core wire lumen) to receive the sensor. The sensor cavity includes an attachment platform fixedly attached to a fixed portion of the sensor, such that a cantilevered portion of the sensor is suspended within the sensor cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an intravascular guidewire that includes a flexible elongate member configured to be positioned within a blood vessel of a patient. The flexible elongate member includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal portion includes a proximal core wire and the distal portion includes a distal core wire. The intravascular guidewire includes a sensor disposed at the distal portion of the flexible elongate member. The sensor is configured to obtain medical data related to the blood vessel while the flexible elongate member is positioned within the blood vessel. The intravascular guidewire includes a connector disposed at the proximal portion of the flexible elongate member. The intravascular guidewire includes a conductive member establishing electrical communication between the sensor and the connector. The conductive member is continuous between sensor and the connector.

Abstract: An LED package including a collimator body adapted to collect and/or reflect and/or focus light. An upper plane provided by the collimator body defines a mainly horizontal plane. At least one reflection surface is provided by the collimator body and is at least partially angled to the horizontal plane. The collimator body includes a recess for receiving a lighting element including a light emitting front face such that the reflection surface extends at least partially below the level of the front face in an assembled state. Due to the angle of the reflection surface with respect to the horizontal plane of the collimator body, a small light source and a high luminous flux at the same time are provided so that the luminance and the brightness of the LED package are increased.

Abstract: A collimator (20) for use as part of a LED package (10) is provided, comprising a collimator body (28) adapted to collect and/or reflect and/or focus light, an upper plane (30) provided by the collimator body (28), wherein the upper plane (30) defines a mainly horizontal plane (32), at least one reflection surface (36) provided by the collimator body (28), wherein the reflection surface (36) is at least partially angled to the horizontal plane (32) by an angle ?, which is 70°???110°, particularly 75°???100°, preferably 78°???92°, most preferred 79°???85°, wherein the collimator body (28) comprises a recess (34) for receiving a lighting element (14) comprising a light emitting front face (22) illuminated by a LED (40), wherein the lighting element (24) is received such by the recess (34) that the reflection surface (36) extends at least partially below the level of the front face (22) in assembled state.
