Bare Fiber sensors
Our
pO2 and multi-parameter pO2/combined sensors are supplied
in a 'bare-fiber' (BF) format for invasive yet minimally
traumatic tissue monitoring applications. A suitable gauge
needle or catheter can be used to deliver the sensor to
the tissue. Bare-fiber style sensors (without the temperature
function) are fully MRI-compatible and are available at
extended lengths for this type of application.

SBF/O
Surface mounting oxygen-only
These ‘surface’ mounting sensors comprise
a flat sensing body into which a standard BF type sensor
have been integrated. The body of the sensor includes
suture holes for easy attachment to tissue and organ
surfaces, whilst the measurement occurs from the sensing
tip protruding from the flat underside surface. Whilst
the slight protrusion of the sensing tip means that
the actual measurement remains direct and invasive,
this unique sensor can be useful for measurements from
shallow and peripheral tissue regions such as mesentery,
kidney, liver and gut wall. The sampling area for this
type of sensor is identical to that of comparable standard
BF sensors.
Requires: OxyLite E or OxyLab
pO2 E only.
Product code: SBF/O/E
Tip diameter: ~280 µm
Cable length: 2 m

NP/O
Needle-encased oxygen sensor
The unique construction of this 23G needle-type
sensor enables measurements of tissue oxygenation to
take place via ‘windows’ actually along
the shaft of the needle – i.e. away from the site
of maximal tissue trauma. The ability to measure oxygen
in a less disturbed tissue microenvironment is of significant
benefit to the researcher. Actual oxygen detection occurs
via 3 laterally arranged, precision cut windows approximately
3 mm distal from the needle tip. The resulting tissue
sampling area/volume is approximately 3 times greater
than that of our standard bare-fiber sensors (BF/O).
(All measurements in mm).
Requires: OxyLite E or OxyLab
pO2 E only.
Product code: NP/O/E
Tip diameter: ~630 µm / 23G
Cable length: 2 m
