FINGER CUFF WITH A FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT FOR NON-INVASIVE HEMODYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS

Abstract:

Disclosed is a finger cuff that is attachable to a patient's finger to be used in measuring the patient's blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system. The finger cuff may comprise: a light emitting diode (LED)--photodiode (PD) pair; a bladder that exerts pressure on the patient's finger; and a flexible circuit electrically connectable to the LED-PD pair and attached to an interior of the finger cuff, wherein the flexible circuit includes a flexible polymer material.
