Abstract
A pressure module is provided which comprises a capsule having a cavity formed therein, and a pressure transducer disposed within the cavity of the capsule. A feedthrough pin, fixedly coupled to the capsule, extends into the capsule and is electronically coupled to the pressure transducer.
Claims20
A pressure sensor module, incorporated with a medical lead, the module comprising:
- a capsule having a cavity formed therein;
- a pressure transducer disposed within said cavity of said capsule;
- and
- a feedthrough pin extending into said capsule and fixedly coupled thereto, said feedthrough pin electrically coupled to said pressure transducer.
1 more element
A pressure sensor module for use in a medical lead having a wire conductor, comprising:
- a capsule having a cavity formed therein;
- biocompatible media disposed within said cavity of said capsule;
- a pressure transducer disposed within said biocompatible media;
- and
- a feedthrough pin fixedly coupled to said capsule, said feedthrough pin having a first end configured to be coupled to the wire conductor and said second end flexibly coupled to said pressure transducer.
2 more elements
A method for manufacturing a pressure sensor module comprising:
- flexibly mounting a transducer in a cavity of a capsule;
