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.

Implantable pressure sensor device

The invention relates to a medical sensor system () for detecting a feature (), such as an analyte, in a human or animal body. The system () includes at least one sensor () having a reservoir () with a cap () designed as a controllable organic membrane (), wherein (for example) application of a voltage of a particular magnitude, or application of a voltage for a particular time, effects a change in the permeability of the membrane ().

Medical sensor system for detecting a feature in a body

A medical sensor system (') for detecting at least one characteristic () of an human and/or animal body has a sensor (), a first characteristic carrier (), and a characteristic carrier receptor (). The first characteristic carrier () differs, in terms of at least one characteristic parameter, from a second characteristic carrier () which is present at least at the time of detection. The sensor () is preferably located in vivo at the time of detection of the at least one characteristic.
