With a diameter of only 125 ֵm, the FOP-F125 is the smallest pressure sensor commercially available. This ultra-miniature sensor is manufactured directly at the tip of the optical fi ber using patent pending technologies suitable for mass production. This all-glass sensor assembled without the use of any adhesive is fully biocompatible and is suitable for integration in medical devices and in mini-
mally invasive instrumented catheters.The size and mounting fl exibility of the FOP-F125 provide the capability to embed the sensor within almost any confi guration of invasive diagnostic or therapeutic devices. The front-looking FOP-F125 allows in-situ measurements at locations unreachable to standard pressure sensors and eliminates the artefacts due to tissue contact that may be encountered with laterally mounted sensors.The FOP-F125 high measurement resolution and precision, combined with a fast reading rate, are important characteristics when attempting to detect very quick and subtle pressure variations. It allows a clear defi nition of complex pressure waveforms, such as human arterial blood pressure variations generated by heart valve closure. Its long term reliability and low drift value make it the best sensor available for implantable equipment, such as intra-cranial, intravascular and in-
trauterine pressure monitoring devices.The optical nature of the FOP-F125, makes the sensor immune to electromagnetic fi eld or radiofrequency interferences regularly encountered in operating rooms or MRI devices. The FOP-F125 fast response is also useful in determining pressure curve characteristics at faster paces, such as the ones encountered in small labora-
tory animals.
