Intra-organ solid stress sensor
Intra-organ solid stress sensor
- Clinical Condition
- Tumor and other solid organs develop high internal solid stress (SS) which compresses blood vessels and blocks (chemo)therapy.
- Current Practice
- SS is treated with angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
- No device to monitor SS.
- Solution
- A catheter-based tumor microsensor system to measure tumor solid stress levels in situ.
- Proprietary biocompatible lead-free piezo-electric material technology.
- PCT filed a national US patent application in 2018.
- Applicability to other biological pressure measurements (intra-occular pressure, compartment syndrome).
