Patent

CA 2284615

The invention incorporates an opto-electronic section (3) in the tip of a sheath cover (1) for a diagnostic probe (2) that makes both electric and optical measurements of tissue contacted by the sheath. In addition the invention provides a piece of turbid material such as a polymer of controlled composition as a built in calibrator (9) attached to the outside of the tip of the sheath. In one embodiment the probe sheath is fabricated from a flexible material which can be rolled up prior to fitting, and when fitted to the tip of the probe can be rolled down the shaft of the probe for use and then rolled back off the shaft for disposal.

L'invention concerne un module opto-électronique (3) placé sur l'extrémité d'une gaine (1) pour une sonde (2) de diagnostic qui effectue des mesures électriques et optiques de tissus mis en contact avec la gaine. L'invention concerne en outre une matière opaque telle qu'un polymère de composition régulée, en tant que dispositif (9) d'étalonnage, fixée à l'extérieur de l'extrémité de la gaine. Selon un mode de réalisation, la gaine de sonde est fabriquée en matière flexible susceptible d'être enroulée vers le haut avant d'être fixée et une fois fixée sur l'extrémité de la sonde, la gaine peut être roulée vers le bas le long de la tige de la sonde en vue de son utilisation, puis ôtée de la tige afin d'être jetée.
