Abstract
The present document describes a pressure guidewire comprising a shaft tube, a tip portion and a fiber optic pressure sensor. The shaft tube comprises a middle section and a sensor housing extending distally relative to the middle section, the sensor housing having a distal end. The tip portion extends distally relative to the shaft tube. The pressure sensor is embedded in the sensor housing. The sensor housing defines a cavity, inside the sensor housing, which is distal relative to the pressure sensor and delimited at a proximal end thereof by the pressure sensor.
