Transducer for measuring the systolic blood pressure of laboratory animals

Abstract

Abstract 1. Sensor for measuring the systolic blood pressure of laboratory animals, characterized in that a flexure-sensitive electromechanical transducer element (4) is attached to the outside of a resilient tube (1) which has been slit longitudinally, attachement being effected at a position (3) where the strength of the tube material has been reduced by a defined amount, this position (3) preferably being opposite the longitudinal slit (2), and the complete assembly being enclosed by a covering (5) if the particular circumstances so require.
