Fiber Optic Sensors

• Sensor diameter as small as 0.8 French
• Lead-in fiber diameter less than 0.5 French
• Exceptionally flexible glass fiber offers superior deliverability without kinking
• Front-looking configuration of sensor tips prevents side-facing/wall-bouncing measurement artifacts
• Absence of metallic components provides immunity to RF, MW, and MRI interference

Our fiber optic sensors function by detecting changes in light as it passes through the sensing element. A readout unit transmits light through an optical fiber to the sensor tip, where a mirror reflects the coded signal back for analysis. Features within the sensor alter the light in response to external parameters such as pressure, temperature, and force. Because Resonetics’ sensing technologies operate independently of light loss, they remain robust and reliable throughout therapy.

All of our fiber optic sensor models are used in various FDA and CE-approved medical devices and diagnostic equipment.
