The invention describes an implantable pressure sensor having a housing, wherein the housing has walls and two or more pressure transfer membranes bounding an internal volume, wherein the pressure transfer membranes are not coplanar.

Implantable pressure sensor

An implantable pressure sensor device () has a housing () which is at least partially made of a pressure transmitting membrane (), and which includes one or more regions which can reversibly deform while maintaining the surface area of the membrane () when the internal volume of the housing () is changed. The housing () has a non-circular cross-section which can deform to a more circular shape when pressure in the internal volume increases. An inner housing is preferably situated within the housing, with its exterior spaced from the interior of the housing, and has its inner volume in fluid communication with the space between the housing and inner housing.
