  • Publication number: 20220409858
    Abstract: An intraluminal sensing device includes a catheter or a guidewire with a flexible elongate member that is positioned within a body lumen of a patient. The device also includes a sensor disposed at a distal portion of the flexible elongate member. The sensor obtains medical data associated with the body lumen while the flexible elongate member is positioned within the body lumen. The sensor is an ultrasound transducer, a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, and/or a temperature sensor. The device further includes a radiopaque marker coupled to the flexible elongate member. The radiopaque marker is an ultraviolet (UV) radiation-cured product of a mixture that includes a radiopaque material, an electromagnetic-radiation-curable adhesive, and a photoinitiator. The solution of the mixture is applied directly to the flexible elongate member and UV radiation-cured to form the radiopaque marker. The radiopaque marker is a band extending around a perimeter of the flexible elongate member.
