Pressure sensors for medical applications

Pressure Measurement in Medical Applications

Our first pressure sensors were designed for medical applications, specifically high-pressure inflation devices (angioplasty) and blood-pressure monitoring. Ever since these products were introduced to the market, we have had a successful history as a medical-components supplier.

Although we are vertically integrated with Merit Medical, we continue to provide MEMS pressure sensors to various companies in the medical industry. If you’re looking for a flexible pressure-sensor supplier that can customize solutions for your application, consider Merit Sensor.

Typical Applications

Mechanical Ventilators

LP Series

Monitoring and controlling the amount of air, or positive airway pressure, into a patient’s lungs is critical for respiratory support. See why our LP Series is great for this application.

Blood-Pressure Transducers

BP Series

Blood-pressure sensors enable continuous, reliable monitoring of a patient’s blood pressure. Learn more about our BP Series.

Liquids & Solutions Diagnostics

MSS100

Measuring the pressure in chromatographs, bioreactors, and other diagnostics equipment requires a pressure sensor that can withstand harsh media and still maintain biocompatibility. See why the MSS100 is a great product for these applications.
