A mechanical system for attaching a measuring probe to provide monitoring of transplanted organs

Original language description

The solution deals with a system for attaching a measuring probe to an internal transplanted organ (6) to provide its monitoring. The measuring probe body (1), made of a soft biocompatible material, consists of a sensory part (1.1), which contains the measuring sensors (2) and is to be placed onto a monitored organ (6), and of an output part (1.2) leading out from the patient's body. The system for attaching the measuring probe body (1) to the monitored organ (6) is formed by at least two grips (3.1, 3.2) in a form of a strip made of a soft and elastic biocompatible material. The first ends of the grips (3.1, 3.2) are fixed from one side to the sensory part (1.1) of the measuring probe body (1), while their second ends fit into the recesses (1.3, 1.4), and these recesses are created in the sensory part (1.1) of the measuring probe body (1) at the side of the measuring probe body (1) opposite to the side where the first ends of the grips (3.1, 3.2) are fixed. In the part where the second ends of the grips (3.1, 3.2) fit into the recesses (1.3, 1.4), the through-holes (4.1, 4.2) are created. A guiding duct (5) is created lengthwise along the measuring probe body (1) at the edge with the recesses (1.3, 1.4), and it is terminated in the measuring probe body (1) behind the most distant recess (1.4) before the distal end of the sensory part (1.1). The through-holes (4.1, 4.2) and the guiding duct (5) lead one into the other and they hold an extractable fixing wire (7), which can be easily removed to release the fixation of the grips (3.1, 3.2) to the measuring probe body (1). The advantage of this solution is the absence of surgical sutures, used typically in similar systems. Without the need for sutures, the application of the system onto the monitored organ becomes easy, and the risk of sutures being captured inside the patient's body during probe extraction is also eliminated. ### The patent is exploited by its owner.
