Implantable Sensors - Custom Accelerometers
Application Information
Since our founding in 1967, Konigsberg Instruments has developed a diverse mix of sensors that are designed to be permanently implanted within or around a variety of organs in order to facilitate many types of biometric monitoring and medical research.
These sensors are the preferred way to measure biological functions free of catheter whip, motion artifact, and especially the effects of anesthesia or confinement on the research subject. These instruments offer the highest quality dynamic data obtainable from any chronically implantable measuring device. Their use virtually eliminates the deleterious effects of pain and stress on the experimental results.
These sensors are purpose-built to the customer’s requirements. They will interface to most standard instrumentation amplifiers and to Konigsberg Instruments’ Biotelemetry encoders.
Technical Specifications: Solid State Implantable Accelerometers
Konigsberg Instruments has designed a number of miniature Single-Axis, Triple-Axis, and Nine-Axis accelerometers. They have been used as chronically implanted devices, as well as telemetered from the mouthpieces of professional boxers. The accelerometers are designed specifically for biocompatibility and chronic implantation.
