Abstract:
1. A mounting platform assembly for an implantable sensor, the assembly comprising: an insulative body formed from a biocompatible plastic, the body including a proximal portion and a mounting surface for the sensor, the mounting surface extending distally from the proximal portion; a first conductive insert extending within and being surrounded by the proximal portion of the insulative body, the first insert including a first, conductor-coupling end extending proximally from the insulative body and a second, sensor-coupling end extending distally from the proximal portion of the insulative body to be exposed exterior to the mounting surface of the insulative body; and a second conductive insert extending within and being surrounded by the proximal portion of the insulative body, and further being spaced apart and electrically isolated from the first conductive insert, the second conductive insert including a sensor-coupling end extending distally from the proximal portion of the insulative body to be exposed exterior to the mounting surface of the insulative body.
