  • Inverted sensor module
    Patent number: 6918873
    Abstract: An inverted sensor module for sensing physical and chemical fluid characteristics in a vessel in a living body. The inverted sensor module includes an inverted sensor bonded to a hollow carrier so that sensing occurs in the lumen of the inverted sensor module. An inverted sensor module comprising one or more inverted sensors is implantable and allows fluid to flow through, thereby allowing for measurements of acute and chronic conditions. The inverted sensor module may be used in series with other inverted sensor modules to assess trends such as pressure gradients along a bloodstream.
