Claim 12:
13. An intravascular force probe comprising:
a proximal tube;
an atraumatic distal end, the proximal tube and atraumatic distal end defining a longitudinal axis along which the force probe extends;
a first inductive coil comprising a first planar area and being affixed between the proximal tube and the atraumatic distal end and in a first plane such that a majority of the first planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a second inductive coil comprising a second planar area and being affixed between the proximal tube and the atraumatic distal end and such that a majority of the second planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a third inductive coil comprising a third planar area such that a majority of the third planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a fourth inductive coil comprising a fourth planar area such that a majority of the fourth planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a fifth inductive coil comprising a fifth planar area such that a majority of the fifth planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and
a sixth inductive coil comprising a sixth planar area such that a majority of the sixth planar area is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and
a compressible framework compressible parallel to the longitudinal axis to move the first inductive coil toward the second inductive coil, the third inductive coil toward the fourth inductive coil, and the fifth inductive coil toward the sixth inductive coil.
