SEMITEC’s new pressure sensor

SEMITEC has developed a new, ultra-small pressure sensor for medical applications.

sensor which can be used in ultra-small spaces.

3. Features:

a) Measurement of pressure in any direction

b) Through utilization and direct mathematical conversion of piezo resistance

accurate sensing is possible. A water or light medium is not necessary.

4. Applications:

Replacing the tactile functions of a human hand this sensor can be used for example

in endoscopy devices, remote body probes and catheters.
